Director of US National ‘Intelligence’ denies media claims about Putin’s aim to seize all of Ukraine

Director of US National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has described as “a lie and propaganda” a Reuters report claiming that Russian ruler Vladimir Putin intends to seize all of Ukraine and reclaim parts of Europe that once belonged to the former Soviet Union.

Quote: “No, this is a lie and propaganda Reuters is willingly pushing on behalf of warmongers who want to undermine President Trump’s tireless efforts to end this bloody war that has resulted in more than a million casualties on both sides.

Dangerously, you are promoting this false narrative to block President Trump’s peace effort, and fomenting hysteria and fear among the people to get them to support the escalation of war, which is what NATO and the EU really want in order to pull the United States military directly into war with Russia.”

Details: Gabbard said that “the truth is” US intelligence has informed policymakers that “Russia seeks to avoid a larger war with NATO”.

Quote: “It [the US intelligence – ed.] also assesses that, as the last few years have shown, Russia’s battlefield performance indicates it [Russia] does not currently have the capability to conquer and occupy all of Ukraine, let alone Europe.”

Background: Reuters, citing six sources, said that reports from US intelligence agencies continue to warn that Putin intends to take over all of Ukraine and reclaim parts of Europe that belonged to the former Soviet Union.

  1. Blah, blah! All NaZis, communists, Stasi Shit, Pedophiles and their supporters/enablers will be burned alive and dragged cross our streets one day. Gabbard is a dumb piece of $hit! 😤🤮

  2. “I have said many times that the Russian and Ukrainian people are one nation, in fact. In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours,” “But you know we have an old parable, an old rule: wherever a Russian soldier steps, it is ours.”

    V. Putin June 27, 2025.

    What part of these statements does Gabbard not understand?

      • They can join the queue waiting for expired food being thrown into the trash from the supermarkets in moscow at the end of the day.

  3. Gabbart is every bit as unqualified for her job as all the other Trump appointed losers are for theirs, including the orange one himself.

  4. “Russia seeks to avoid a larger war with NATO”. Theres the key, orcs are waiting until Nato is disolved, and will engage in smaller regional wars. Ive found the decoder ring!
