Dmitry Peskov asserts that not only is Ukraine expected to ensure American profit, but it is also being pushed into debt.

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov accused the US of benefiting from the war in Ukraine during a press briefing in Moscow on Thursday. He emphasized that Washington encouraged Kiev to persist in fighting despite sustaining losses.
 
He further stated that regardless of who leads the US, any new leader will undertake measures to prolong the war that commenced over two years ago.

"Due to their internal political differences, Washington is looking for different modalities in order to continue to provide assistance to Ukraine. In any case, under any regime of providing this assistance, de facto we are talking about provoking Ukraine to further hostilities to the last Ukrainian with guaranteed profits for the US," he said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the spokesperson criticized the recent change in US policy regarding financial support for Ukraine, specifically focusing on credit assistance.

"Not only Ukraine is obligated to secure American profit, but it is also being plunged into debt -- a reflection of the US' favored colonial approach," he highlighted.

Peskov stressed that although financial aid is ostensibly designated for Ukraine, a substantial portion ultimately benefits the US defense industry. This is because a significant amount of the funds allocated for Ukraine's requirements ends up being redirected toward domestic orders within the US, he added.

"It's worth noting that a substantial portion of the allocated funds ultimately enriches the US military-industrial complex, subsequently returning to the American government through taxation," he said.

According to the spokesperson's evaluation, such assistance is unlikely to substantially change the trajectory of events on the battlefield, which is currently "unfavorable" for Ukrainian troops.

This comes shortly after the US House of Representatives unveiled bill texts on Wednesday containing provisions for aid to Ukraine, "Israel", and Taiwan, scheduled for votes on Saturday.

Regarding media accounts of two Russian nationals being detained in Germany on espionage charges, Peskov stated he lacked information on the matter.

When questioned about the apprehension of a Russian businessman's villa in France, Peskov denounced any infringement on private property as "illegal and a violation of laws." He emphasized that such actions by the French authorities undermine the pillars of their legal framework.
