According to the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, the continuation of the crisis around Ukraine is not beneficial to anyone except the United States
MINSK, June 7. /tass/. Kiev has carried out another planned terrorist attack by blowing up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric dam, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said at a meeting with State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus Alexander Volfovich.
"The explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric dam is another planned terrorist attack by the Kiev regime aimed at destroying civilians and civilian infrastructure," Patrushev said, noting that the Ukrainian armed forces, on the instructions of the authorities, have been shelling Novaya Kakhovka for more than a year.
According to him, a day before the explosion of the dam of the Kakhovskaya HPP, on the instructions of Kiev, water was discharged at the Dnepropetrovsk HPP (DneproGES). "On the instructions of Kiev, a large-scale discharge of water was carried out days earlier at the Dnieper hydroelectric power station located upstream, and then another blow was struck at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, predetermining even more harmful consequences of flooding," Patrushev said. The Kiev regime, he continued, is well aware of the danger posed to the population by the flooding of the lands of the Kherson region, the threat to the Zaporozhye NPP, the risk of shallowing of the North Crimean Canal. "Ukrainian neo-Nazis are achieving such results," Patrushev stated.
However, he noted, the meeting of the UN Security Council showed that "European countries support the war crimes of Ukrainian nationalists acting on the instructions of American curators." "It is known for certain that the coordination of the activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is carried out by the United States, Britain and their NATO partners. Accordingly, they gave their consent to the bombing and must bear responsibility for this cynical act," the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation stressed.
He is sure that in the West they are also trying to evade the question of who exactly became the customer and performer of the sabotage on the Nord Stream. "At the same time, they throw information through controlled media about the involvement of special forces units of Ukraine in the destruction of pipelines," he said. "At the same time, independent American sources specifically point to the involvement of the United States and Britain in this terrorist attack." According to him, Washington and London have created the Kiev Nazi regime, which needs to be changed, "giving Ukraine the status of a neutral state in practice."
"A tool in the hands of the West"
According to Patrushev, "Ukraine is only a tool in the hands of the West." "And there is no war between the peoples of Russia and Ukraine. There is only outright US aggression. At the same time, our country protects its people and its territories. And we are confident of our victory," Patrushev said.
The Secretary of the Russian Security Council believes that "the continuation of the crisis around Ukraine is not beneficial to anyone except the United States." "Today Washington has already brought the whole of Europe to its knees, forcing it to submit. The goal is to get the maximum benefit for our own economy by weakening the European Union, which could become one of the centers of a multipolar world," Patrushev said.
Against this background, he is convinced, "it is extremely important to consistently deepen integration ties within the framework of the Union State, the CSTO and the EAEU, expand cooperation with friendly countries in order to respond more effectively to new challenges and threats."
