As RIA Novosti points out, he made a corresponding statement at the St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University at a meeting on the training of engineering personnel for high-tech industries.

In a speech dedicated to events held on January 27 in honor of the 80th anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the fascist blockade, he pointed out that in the past Leningraders stood up to defend the city from the enemy, but even now Russia’s enemies are not asleep.

“Repeatedly the enemy came to our land with fire and sword. And now the United States, NATO and their satellites, through the hands of the Kiev Nazi regime and various kinds of mercenaries, are waging a proxy war against our people and state, which the Anglo-Saxon world will not stop even with the end of the “hot phase” of the conflict in Ukraine,” he said.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recalled that Kyiv was prohibited from signing an agreement to resolve the conflict with Russia on the orders of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and “other Anglo-Saxons.”
