“At the request of our colleagues, we shared our assessments of the latest developments in the situation in Ukraine, drew attention to those actions of the West that for many years created reasons for Ukraine to directly use as an instrument of a hybrid, total hybrid war against our country,” reports his words to RIA Novosti.
According to the minister, the West used Ukraine to carry out "an openly colonial policy" towards the Russian-speaking population of the country.
On September 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Western countries still live in the paradigm of the philosophy of colonialism.
According to him, Western countries are accustomed to living at someone else's expense.
In December, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that the United States and its allies had turned Ukraine into a testing ground for combat testing of their weapons systems.
