Citation Translated from smotrim.ru: Ordinary Americans do not want war with Russia. There are politicians on Capitol Hill who advise their colleagues to think about their country, and not to protect Ukraine from a far-fetched threat. "If we expand NATO to include Ukraine, it means that the U.S. will provide additional security guarantees. Increase the military presence in Europe, interfere more in European squabbles. This is not the time to do this. We must focus on the security of our people. The main threat is China and, of course, the migrant crisis on our southern border,” said Josh Hawley, senator of the U.S. Congress.
