The US has been preparing the Ukrainian army to attack Russia for eight years.

Axar.az informs that Colonel Douglas McGregor, the former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, said this.

"We decided to create a Ukrainian army with the aim of harming Russia. We spent eight years on this, but we did not think about the consequences of our actions. We mistakenly continued to consider Russia a well-armed gas station. However, we found the exact opposite," he said.

McGregor predicted that despite the fact that the United States has the most powerful and numerous air force in the world, it will suffer heavy losses in a direct conflict with Moscow's air defense forces.
