Nina Khrushcheva: Putin’s reaction to the arms of Ukraine the US will be terrible

Nina Khrushcheva, a professor at the International Relations Department of the New School of New York, Nikita Khrushchev's great-granddaughter, believes that the reaction of Moscow, if the United States decides to supply weapons to the Ukrainian army, will be extremely harsh.

“He will respond (Russian President Vladimir Putin. - Gazeta.Ru) is bad. Moscow has already stated earlier that Ukraine will not be able to prevail in this conflict with the help of force, and if the US really starts supplying weapons, Russia will raise the stakes, and the war itself may cease to be mediated and turn into something much more terrible for Europe and the US “After all, the whole European continent can be drawn into it,” said Khrushchev during the broadcast of the American cable TV channel MSNBC.

“That is why, for example, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that (supplies of weapons. - Gazeta.Ru) to the Ukrainian army are out of the question, since Putin will react to this very, very scary,” the professor emphasized, reports "Gazeta.ru".
