WION Global Summit: US not responsible for Ukraine war, says ex-official Jane Holl Lute
US is not responsible for war in Ukraine, says leader Jane Holl Lute.
US Department of Homeland Security’s former deputy secretary Jane Holl Lute said the US is not responsible for the war in Ukraine.
She was taking part in the first session on ‘Waving the white flag on armed conflicts’ during WION’s 'Global Summit: Mission Peace' in Dubai.
The session was moderated by Palki Sharma Upadhyay, Managing Editor, WION.
Lute said, “If you want to prevent the spread and continuation of violence, you need to create military and financial fire breaks, and sanctions are designed to do that.”

“It's a myth that 'war' is like the weather. It doesn’t just break out. The war in Ukraine was launched by [Russian President] Vladmir Putin with the aim to erase Ukraine from the world map, and he is not succeeding as Ukrainians are putting up a remarkable defence. This war is a naked aggression," Lute added.

There are no straight lines in wars, and right now none of us know how this war will end, said the former US official.
