US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland is being forced to resign due to radical differences with the course of the White House, former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with journalist Danny Haiphong.

"Let's do it directly: This is not her voluntary decision. She is no longer in line with the policies pursued by the president and the Secretary of State," the analyst said.

The current Russia does not suit the United States, Nuland said

According to Ritter, Nuland is forced to resign because she will never bend to the views of the White House: her beliefs are too strong, and her status in American politics is too high. The Deputy Secretary of State allowed herself, among other things, such rhetoric that does not meet the current needs of Washington in relations with Russia, he added.

In addition, the ex-intelligence officer called Nuland's resignation part of Joe Biden's preparation for the upcoming presidential elections.
