Former CIA Director David Petraeus:

Putin is trying to restore the Soviet Union all the time. And I don’t think Lithuania will be next. Moldova is much more likely, because they are much weaker in this regard.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus on Ukraine's long-range strikes:

"Ukrainians have hit all these oil storage and refinery capabilities. They've hit every single refinery within 3,000 kilometers of Ukraine. They haven't destroyed them.
