The United States and its Western allies want to destroy Russia, according to the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin, BTA reported.
“The masks have fallen. The West does not just want to surround Russia with a new Iron Curtain,” he said. “We are talking about attempts to destroy our country, to” abolish “it, as it is said today in the” tolerant “liberal-fascist environment,” he said.
“The most disgusting thing is that this is being done under false slogans about the need to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty and European security.” He added that Washington’s goal is to prevent another center of power from emerging.
Naryshkin reiterated Moscow’s insistence on Ukraine’s neutral status. “This is the minimum territorial barrier our country needs to repel attacks from the West,” he said.
