Pentagon: US thwarts Russia’s possible bombing of Europe

US has thwarted Russia’s possible bombing of Europe.

Assistant Secretary of Defence for International Security Affairs in the Office of the Secretary of Defence for Policy at the US Celeste Wallander has said that Russia could have stripped Ukraine of its independence in 2022 and sent drones from its territory to Europe, according to RBC-Ukraine.

Assistance to Kyiv from the United States thwarted this, she noted.

Wallander said that those UAVs that the Russians are sending from Crimea over Ukrainian cities could have attacked European capitals. The cruise missiles that the Russians use against Ukraine's critically important energy infrastructure would have threatened US allies in NATO.

She noted that Americans in Europe - from military personnel, businessmen, and ordinary citizens to American students studying in Europe - would have been in danger.

All of this was prevented by American support for Ukraine and, above all, the courage and skill of the Ukrainians, Wallander emphasised.
