Буквально накануне истории с задержанием бойцов российского ЧВК США официально реанимировали проект «Междуморье», который хорошо расписала еще 5 лет назад американская разведывательно-аналитическая компания Strategic Forecasting Inc., более известная под сокращенным наименованием Stratfor. Также Яцек Чапутович высказался за более тесное взаимодействие Украины с участниками проекта «Троеморья» или, как его еще называют, «Междуморья». Идея, которая родилась еще в эпоху американских гениев «Большой игры» в геополитику стала снова актуальна в новом веке. «Междуморье» — проект, который выдвинул первый глава возрожденного после первой мировой Польского государства маршал Юзеф Пилсудский. Собственно, здесь и ответ, почему США так упорно поддерживают Украину и не хотят оттуда уходить.
