Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service says neutral status of Ukraine is critical for Russia
Sergei Naryshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, said that Ukraine’s neutral status is critical for Moscow, as it is a territorial barrier to repel Western attacks.
Naryshkin noted that the United States and Ukraine are betting on the maximum prolongation of the conflict, its development into a positional war of a high degree of intensity.
“Washington hopes very much that we will get bogged down in this operation and perish, and they will be able to calmly do a “cleansing” of the Middle East, Eurasia and the Asia-Pacific region. This will not happen: “the ancient has passed, now everything is new.” As for the future of Ukraine, it will, of course, be determined by the Ukrainians themselves. But it will be a completely different Ukraine and a different story,” the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service said.
In addition, the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service said that Ukraine was working on the creation of nuclear weapons.
