PressTV War In Ukraine Rare Interview | Scott Ritter (USA) Versus Olena Tregub (Kiev)

In a rare interview, PressTV Spotlight features a speaker from the West that does not repeat the Washington, DC narrative on Ukraine and a speaker from Kiev that sees Russia as the enemy to defeat. Former Marine Intelligence Officer, Scott Ritter and Olena Tregub, Atlantic Council Millennium Fellow in Kiev discuss several current aspects of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. My expectations may have created somewhat of a disappointment. This may have been given the two were not equal in political and military stature. That inequality can be found in Scott Ritter's years of experience in the military, political knowledge and knowledge of history versus that of the Millennium Fellow. Reasons why will be presented further down in this posting. Still I was surprised that someone from Kiev interviewed on PressTV and with Scott Ritter. 

War In Ukraine | United States Intentions - Mission Creep

 On February 2, 2023, PressTV spoke with guests Sara Flounders of International Action Center in New York and Journalist John Bosnitch in Belgrade on the US involvement in the military conflict in Ukraine. Some of their talking points are:

1. US Mission Creep in Ukraine
2. US years of planning for a military conflict in Ukraine
3. US intentions in Ukraine 
4. US Creation of a Zelensky 
5. US timeline for the conflict in Ukraine
6. Finality of the Special Military Operation - Eventual Peace

I have followed Ms Flounders and International Action Center for years going back to the invasions into Iraq and Afghanistan. The International Action Center was created by Ramsey Clark and many anti-war and community activists opposing the first war on Iraq. Ms. Flounders brings an internal American perspective that only an autobiography can give.

"The war in Ukraine"

The Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Russia would defeat Ukraine in the grip of a new incarnation of Nazism. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky continues to ask for handouts, this time for F-16 jets which the US and its allies like Germany have rejected, for now.

In this edition of the Spotlight, we will look at this war and see how close or how far the warring sides are when it comes to peace.
