He criticized past U.S. administrations for undermining peace efforts such as the Minsk agreements through arms sales to Ukraine and rhetoric aimed at weakening Russia.

Highlighting the risk of nuclear escalation due to the war’s proximity to Moscow, Horton likened U.S. actions to hypothetical Chinese and Russian provocations near the U.S. border, in Canada and Mexico.
