In an interview a few days ago, former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter pointed out that in the event of a successful strike on Moscow, Kyiv would have been totally destroyed, the Ria Novosti Russian state news agency reported. During the conversation, the journalist asked about the possible consequences of a Ukrainian attack on Moscow, the Hungarian daily Magyar Nemzet highlights.

The United States and everyone involved are trying to tell the Ukrainians that if they attack Moscow, there is going to be a real war and they will all die,

Mr Ritter said, adding that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky himself would be among the dead within a few weeks.

During the interview, Mr Ritter also mentioned the bombing of Iraq by US troops. He pointed out that the US armed forces did not target the energy infrastructure but parliament buildings and other places key for political functioning. The same would happen to Kyiv, the former intelligence officer said. Earlier, citing the leaked Pentagon documents, the US daily The Washington Post reported that Ukraine had plans to attack Moscow and Novorossiysk on the one-year anniversary of the outbreak of the war.
