Robert F Kennedy Jr, the present 2024 presidential hopeful and nephew to assassinated former US President John F Kennedy, previously said at a town hall event that the Ukraine crisis had been turned by Washington into “a proxy war between Russia and the United States”.
The federal government under the Joe Biden administration has been blatantly lying to the Americans \u201cabout everything to do with Ukraine\u201d, said Robert F Kennedy Jr, in an interview for Judge Andrew Napolitano on his Judging Freedom podcast.
\u201cThis was a sell job that they gave us on Ukraine,\u201d insisted the 2024 Democratic candidate for US President.

\u201cThe Russians tried to avoid a war\u2026 wanted to sign the Minsk Accords \u2013 a reasonable document \u2013 to keep NATO out of Ukraine, with Ukraine remaining neutral\u2026 That [US] remove the Aegis missile systems from Romania, Poland, and that the murder\u2026 the wholesale killing of ethnic Russians in the Donbass by the Ukrainian government that America put in power stop. Those are all things that we should have agreed to,\u201d stated the nephew of assassinated former US President John F Kennedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelensky won in 2019 by promising to sign the Minsk accords. The complex series of measures negotiated by Russia, France, Germany and Ukraine in 2014-2015 in a bid to put an end to the armed conflict between the Kiev authorities and the breakaway region of Donbas. Moscow repeatedly stated that Kiev was not fulfilling the deal, for example not granting self-government to the Russian-speaking region of Donbass. In February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted he never intended to implement the Minsk agreements, with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Former French President Fran\u0441ois Hollande, who participated in the Normandy format, admitting the same.
\u201cIt is existential for the Russians\u2026 they have a legitimate national security interest,\u201d Robert F Kennedy Jr pointed out, referring to Moscow\u2019s ongoing special military operation in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“[The US] wanted the war, for the reasons that Biden has said\u2026 The real reason for the war in Ukraine is regime change in Russia,” Kennedy emphasized in the interview on the Judging Freedom podcast.

Kennedy previously slammed decades of policy conducted by the US and NATO toward Ukraine and Russia for fueling the current conflagration.
\u201cWe have neglected many, many opportunities to settle this war peacefully,\u201d Kennedy said in June during a live town hall event with NewsNation. He added that Washington had turned the ongoing conflagration in Ukraine into a proxy war waged by the United States against Russia.
\u201cWe were told this was a humanitarian exercise\u2026 But when President Biden was asked why we are over there, he said for regime change of [Russian President] Vladimir Putin,\u201d the 2024 White House hopeful underscored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weighing in on remarks by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who said last year that Washington wanted “to see Russia weakened,” Kennedy scathingly remarked:
\u201cThat is the opposite of a humanitarian mission, that is a mission about a war of attrition.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
