According to the Daily Kos report, the recently declassified report by the National Intelligence Council sheds light on a startling connection between Russia’s actions in Ukraine and its attempts to influence the 2022 U.S. midterm elections. While the report remains heavily redacted, a crucial snippet reveals that Russian military officials suggested delaying the withdrawal from Kherson until after the midterms to avoid benefiting a specific U.S. political party. This shocking revelation underscores Russia’s prioritization of manipulating American elections over its military presence in the contested region.
Throughout 2022, Ukraine struggled against Russian forces in Kherson, with Ukrainian advances facing resistance. The turning point came when Ukraine targeted key bridges, cutting off Russian forces on the right bank of the Dnipro River. As Russia faced dwindling supplies and manpower, it took drastic measures to protect what it deemed crucial—not its military assets but the perceived impact on U.S. elections.
The timeline aligns with Russia’s sudden retreat from Kherson, starting on Election Day in the United States. The withdrawal continued the next day, officially announced on November 9. The report suggests that Russia knowingly sacrificed lives defending territory it intended to abandon, solely for the purpose of influencing U.S. elections. This revelation adds a disturbing layer to the tragic transformation of Ukrainian cities amid the ongoing conflict.
