The United States is not interested in independent European states, so today they are already trying to create local formats that are beneficial to them even within the framework of the European Union. About this in an interview aif.ru said the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev.
For example, according to him, the "Three Seas Initiative", which unites the countries of Eastern Europe, is presented as a constructive integration format. But in fact, according to Patrushev, we are talking about a new anti-Russian association of states. "In fact, this is a revival of the idea of a century ago about the creation of a so - called "sanitary cordon" along the western border of our country, " the secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation believes. Also, according to him, for the sake of appearing to care about the interests of Ukraine, Washington also created the "Crimean Platform". However, as the Secretary of the Russian Security Council noted, its declared goals are doomed to failure, and plans to violate the territorial integrity of Russia will remain in the offices in which they appeared.
"It is unwise and dangerous to play along with Ukraine's unrealistic territorial ambitions. The Crimean Platform has become a meeting of representatives of countries that support the official government in Kiev, which nurtures nationalists, panders to radicals and openly declares its readiness for large - scale military actions against Russia," Patrushev stressed. According to him, Zelensky's visit to Washington showed that the agreements reached will benefit only American business, which is once again allowed to profit from Ukrainian projects out of competition.
"This is nothing but veiled colonialism. The population of Ukraine itself is actively presented with this anti-national policy as a movement towards the so-called progressive West. And there are many people who believe this propaganda, " Nikolai Patrushev noted.
