Washington: defeat of Ukraine would have global consequences

Ukrainian defeat would have global consequences, including for the strength of the Western alliances, which in this case helps Kyiv, including to protect its own interests.

This was stated by US National Intelligence Director Everyl Haynes, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

“In addition to everything that was said regarding the consequences for the world in case Ukraine does not succeed, there are still a number of considerations: there is clarity regarding the fact that, frankly, the conflict in Ukraine has global consequences”, she said.

“This has consequences for us from the point of view of thinking about the strength of our alliances, this has the consequences for us in terms of how we will resolve crises in the future,” Haynes said.

“We do this (help Ukraine) not only for the sake of Ukraine itself, we do it in our own interests,” she added.
