He noted that Russia, freeing the Ukrainian people from neo-Nazism today, is fighting not only against nationalist formations and Ukrainian troops. 

“Against us, in fact, the NATO bloc is fighting,” Patrushev said.

According to the Secretary of the Security Council, members of the North Atlantic Alliance provide Kyiv with heavy weapons, ammunition, intelligence data, and also train military specialists.

Patrushev also said that attempts at negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv were thwarted by order of the United States.

In addition, he stated that the United States is the beneficiary of the sabotage at Nord Stream.
