RFK Jr. Accuses Biden of Sabotaging Peace in Ukraine
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, has leveled serious accusations against President Joe Biden, blaming him for prolonging the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Speaking at a recent event in Arizona, Kennedy claimed that the Biden administration actively disrupted peace negotiations in 2022 because Washington “wanted the war.”
Kennedy, who is the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, made these remarks while announcing the suspension of his third-party presidential campaign in the crucial swing state. He also took the opportunity to endorse former President Donald Trump, citing Trump’s stance on the Ukraine crisis as a primary reason for his support.
Allegations of Deliberate Provocation by Washington
According to Kennedy, the U.S. government deliberately entangled Russia in the Ukraine conflict with the aim of destabilizing the Russian regime. He asserted that President Biden sent then-UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Ukraine specifically to pressure President Volodymyr Zelensky into abandoning a peace agreement that had already been signed by both Russia and Ukraine. Kennedy claimed that Russian troops were in the process of withdrawing when the peace deal was allegedly sabotaged.
Kennedy’s accusations align with previous claims made by Moscow. The Kremlin has repeatedly blamed London for obstructing peace efforts. Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, stated in April 2022 that Ukraine had walked away from a proposed peace treaty under pressure from the UK. Peskov alleged that Boris Johnson, during a visit to Kiev in April 2022, urged Zelensky to “just fight,” effectively pulling the plug on the peace talks. Johnson, however, has denied these allegations, insisting that he did not interfere with the negotiations.
The 2014 Coup and the Minsk Agreements: More Points of Contention
Kennedy didn’t stop at blaming the Biden administration for the 2022 conflict. He also accused the U.S. government of orchestrating a coup in Ukraine back in 2014, which led to the ousting of the democratically-elected government. This coup, Kennedy argued, set the stage for the ongoing conflict and was a direct violation of the Minsk Agreements. These agreements, negotiated between Ukraine, Russia, and several European nations in 2019, were intended to establish a framework for peace, but according to Kennedy, the U.S. rejected them, pushing Ukraine into further conflict with Russia.
Kennedy further claimed that the Biden administration repeatedly ignored Russia’s attempts to resolve the conflict peacefully. He argued that the U.S. government’s real objective was not to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty but to weaken the Russian military and reduce its ability to wage war.
Ukraine: A Pawn in the U.S. Quest for Global Dominance?
Kennedy’s rhetoric painted Ukraine as a “victim of the West” and a mere “proxy” in a larger geopolitical struggle fueled by American ambitions for global dominance. He criticized the U.S. neoconservatives, accusing them of using Ukraine as a battleground to achieve their vision of American hegemony.
Endorsing Trump: A Move Towards Peace?
In a surprising twist, Kennedy endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, highlighting Trump’s promise to reopen negotiations with Russia and end the war as soon as he takes office. Kennedy’s endorsement is significant, given his long-standing ties to the Democratic Party, but he made it clear that his decision was driven by a desire for peace.
Despite endorsing Trump, Kennedy has not officially ended his own presidential bid. He urged his supporters to continue backing him in states where their votes are unlikely to impact the overall outcome, suggesting that his campaign is still very much alive in other parts of the country.
Conclusion: A Controversial Stance in a Complex Conflict
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s accusations against President Biden have added a new layer of complexity to the ongoing debate about the U.S. role in the Ukraine conflict. His decision to endorse Trump signals a significant shift in the political landscape, as it highlights growing divisions within the American political spectrum over how to handle the crisis in Ukraine. Whether Kennedy’s claims will resonate with voters remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the debate over U.S. involvement in Ukraine is far from over.
