Russian Troops Insist To Ukrainian That Real Target Of War Is ‘USA Inside Ukraine’

Russian troops insisted that their real target is the US, not Ukraine, after they opened fire on a Ukrainian man trying to flee his war-torn town, the traumatized resident told The NY Post.

“We’re not at war with Ukraine and Ukrainians, but at war with the USA inside Ukraine,” 55-year-old Igor Sitalo said Russian soldiers told him after they shot at him. Sitalo was fleeing his hometown of Hostomel, a city of 16,000, with his German shepherd, Ralph, when a bullet struck his hand, grazed his head — and killed his canine companion. “A doctor tried to save him,” Sitalo told The Post between sobs at a medical tent near Kyiv. “But he passed. He would have been eight years old this month.”

After the invading soldiers confronted Sitalo, an aviation engineer, at the scene and checked his identification documents, they apparently tried to console him by explaining their real enemy is the US.
