“We no longer expect honesty, decency from the other side.

Protection of Russian people, the Russian world, Russian historical territories is the only thing that guides us,” Matvienko said.

At the same time, the speaker emphasized that today we are talking about much more than the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine, but about “a large-scale confrontation with the collective West, led by the United States.”

Earlier, Matvienko said that no factors would affect Russia’s determination to fulfill the goals of the North Caucasus.

Also, according to her, the West underestimated Russia’s potential by introducing sanctions against it.
