According to him, this is being done with the aim of eventually subjugating what will remain after the complete division of the country.
“Russia, as we know, is in a difficult period in its history, this is clear to everyone, it is clear to everyone. After the collapse of the USSR, our geopolitical ill-wishers, of course, set themselves the goal of further destroying what was left,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
The Russian leader emphasized that he could speak about this with confidence, “as a former director of the FSB, as a former secretary of the Security Council, and then as the President of Russia and Supreme Commander-in-Chief.”
Earlier, Putin noted that there are “not entirely stupid people” in Western centers, so over time their attempts to shake up the situation in Russia will become more sophisticated.
