特朗普：破坏“北溪”的“不是俄罗斯”

据今日俄罗斯电视台网站2月25日报道，美国前总统特朗普当地时间24日在接受美国知名保守派政治评论节目主持人格伦·贝克的采访时称，乌克兰宣称“完全主导”美国。特朗普还表示，基辅可能是去年10月俄罗斯“北溪”天然气管道被毁的罪魁祸首。

Ukraine has asserted "total dominance" over the US, former US president Donald Trump said Friday during an interview with Glenn Beck. The ex-president also suggested that Kiev might be the real culprit behind the destruction of Russia’s Nord Stream pipelines last October.

Commenting on the recent report by veteran American journalist Seymour Hersh, who suggested the pipelines were targeted by Washington in a clandestine operation ordered directly by US President Joe Biden, Trump did not rule out US involvement but rubbished allegations that Moscow destroyed the installation itself.

"Well, it could have been us, and it could have been Ukraine, and it could have been some third-party country that wants to see trouble. The one group it wasn’t is Russia… This is a main source of massive income for them. They didn't blow it up to make a point. That's the one thing I can tell you for sure," Trump stated, adding that "everything gets blamed on Russia" by the "sick" people.

The US might have been "working in conjunction" with Ukraine to target the pipelines, the ex-president suggested, since Kiev has already asserted "total dominance" over Washington.

"We’ve given them probably $150 billion, and Europe has given them almost nothing," he added.
