US may intervene in conflict if Ukraine "falls"

This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to CBS News.

In this context, the American politician expressed the opinion that if the Kremlin succeeds in its aggressive military campaign in Ukraine, Washington will probably have to intervene in this war, and militarily.

"We can't let Ukraine fall, because if it does, there's a significant possibility that America will have to intervene in the conflict - not just with our money, but with our military," Jeffries said in an interview on 60 Minutes.

The congressman explained that, in his opinion, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is seeking to seize more territories of other countries in order to allegedly "recreate" the Soviet Union. The Kremlin leader will continue to threaten NATO allies in this aggression.

Jeffries noted that Putin's invasion of neighboring Georgia did not end there, nor did his seizure of Ukrainian territories in Crimea and Donetsk and Luhansk regions back in 2014.

"Are we to believe that in the face of this kind of consistent aggression, that if we allow Vladimir Putin to succeed in Ukraine, he will stop at Ukraine? Of course not," the congressman emphasized.
