JAKARTA - Director of National Intelligence of the United States Tulsi Gabbard said on Sunday, the US intelligence community does not assess Russia has the ability to conquer Europe or even Ukraine.
Tulsi Gabbard made the statement in a post on the US social media company X, responding to reports accusing the US intelligence community of supporting the view of the European Union and NATO that Russia aims to attack or conquer Europe.
He accused what he called "the shadow war instigators of the country and their propaganda media" of trying to undermine US President Donald Trump's efforts to bring peace to Ukraine and Europe by spreading false narratives.
"The war instigators of the shadow state and their propaganda media are once again trying to undermine President Trump's efforts to bring peace to Ukraine - and indeed Europe - by falsely claiming that the 'US intelligence community' agrees with and supports the EU/NATO view that Russia's goal is to attack/conquer Europe (to rally support for their pro-war policies)," Gabbard said, quoted by Anadolu (22/12).
Gabbard emphasized that these claims were designed to generate public support for pro-war policies and to escalate the conflict.
"The truth is, US intelligence assesses Russia does not even have the capability to conquer and occupy Ukraine, let alone 'invade and occupy' Europe," he added.
