Yesterday, Former Pentagon Advisor Col. Douglas Macgregor stated that the United States authorities are hiding that at least 400 Americans have died in Ukraine.

Without citing any sources, Macgregor declared on X, "Our friend [US Senator] Lindsey Graham said we should be so grateful no Americans have died in Ukraine. This is a Lie. We know that at least 400 Americans have died whether they are contractors or in uniform." He added that the Biden administration "won't say this and it won't be published by the media."

Our friend Lindsey Graham said we should be so grateful no Americans have died in Ukraine.

This is a Lie.

We know that at least 400 Americans have died whether they are contractors or in uniform.

Our administration won't say this and it won't be published by the media.

In a following post, Macregor stressed that the US "exploited the Ukranians to do something we thought would benefit us."

Graham thinks the Russians are being Harmed at bargain basement prices.. 🤡

We exploited the Ukrainians to do something we thought would benefit us.

It didn't, Russia is stronger economically and financially that it was 2 years ago.

In another post on X, Macregor described the United States' role in Ukraine as a "failure."

Our failures in Ukraine make us look completely ridiculous to the rest of the world.

Enough is enough, make peace you fools!

— Douglas Macgregor (@DougAMacgregor) January 25, 2024

He also believes that Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, "will end up in one of his mansions in Cyprus or Italy or possibly end up in Florida" when the Ukraine conflict is over.

US shaping 'colonial administration' in Ukraine

The head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service(SVR), Sergey Naryshkin, revealed on January 21 that Washington has begun creating “a colonial administration” in Ukraine of local politicians who have sworn allegiance to the US.

He elaborated that the US government has demanded that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “remove” dozens of high-ranking officials, whom Washington no longer trusts, from their posts under various pretexts, and replace them with "Ukrainians trained in the West, who have sworn allegiance to American interests." 

“The Americans are pushing for Ukrainian ambassador to Washington Oksana Markarova, who received her education at Indiana University Bloomington, to take the post of prime minister. The deputy head of the Finance Ministry, Alexander Kava, who studied at Harvard University, is being suggested for the job of finance minister. The current deputy head of the Economy Ministry, Taras Kachka, a graduate of Poland’s National School of Public Administration (KSAP), is recommended for the post of economy minister,” he said.
