“Militarists and defense industry lobbyists oppose peace in Ukraine,” – U.S. Director of National Intelligence

The U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, stated that “militarists and defense industry lobbyists” are opposing peace in Ukraine.

She made this statement on Fox News.

“Anyone who dares to advocate for peace—like President Trump, like myself, like J.D. Vance, and many others—is accused of allegedly being Russian agents or puppets of the Russian president. In my view, this is truly disgusting and demonstrates the influence that militarists and the military-industrial complex have. They cannot respond to President Trump’s call for peace, so instead, they resort to these slanderous accusations,” Gabbard said.

Earlier, Gabbard criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his public conflict with U.S. leader Donald Trump, accusing him of undermining democracy in Ukraine.
