Bridget Brink, a former US ambassador in Ukraine, explains why she gave up her position last month. – I gave up my work in Ukraine, as well as foreign service, because from the beginning of the administration, politics was in exerting pressure on the sacrifice, i.e. Ukraine, and not the aggressor, or Russia – said Brink today on the CBS television program “Face the Nation”, run by Margaret Brennan. – I fully agree that the war must end, but I think that peace at all costs is not a room. This is a concession, and as we know from history, concessions lead only to subsequent wars.
Brink spent three years in Ukraine after obtaining the unanimous consent of the Senate under the former president Joe Biden in May 2022, shortly after the Russian invasion. In an article published on Friday in the newspaper “Detroit Free Press” she wrote that she could not comply with the diplomatic instructions issued by the new Trump administration in good faith.
“It must be a room that serves our interests, and these are really simple,” Brennan told Brink. – It's about how to maintain Ukraine's freedom, how to stop Russia and how to send the right China signal. And that's what we should do.
