The U.S. is losing the initiative on all fronts, and Washington has started to fail in the post-Soviet space. Armenia and Azerbaijan “do not really listen to the U.S. and EU recommendations on peaceful settlement, preferring to solve all issues on their own. Sergei Naryshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, said this in an interview with the Russian magazine Razvedchik.
“The American “obsession” with Ukraine is beginning to have a devastating effect on the entire global financial and military-political system built by Washington. The US is losing the initiative on all fronts: from the Middle East to Asia and Africa. And in the post-Soviet space, they are failing altogether,” Naryshkin said.
In this context, he cited the example of the South Caucasus and Moldova.
“Look, in Georgia, where the puppet (Mikhail) Saakashvili was snacking on ties not so long ago, Westerners failed to prevent the ruling Georgian Dream party from winning the elections. Having realized the perniciousness of an unconcerned orientation towards the West, the Georgian authorities decided to act in their own interests and are now consciously distancing themselves from the ultra-liberal agenda imposed from outside, which is infinitely alien to traditional Georgian values. In Moldova, on the other hand, the (Maia) Sandu regime barely pulled off the desired result in the elections, de facto fixing a deep split in Moldovan society,” the SVR director noted.
At the same time, according to Naryshkin, the post-Soviet space remains a priority area of attack by the US and British intelligence services, as evidenced by the analysis of data available in the SVR.
“The West has set itself an ambitious goal - to break not only economic, political, but also deep historical and humanitarian ties between our countries. This approach stems from the well-known Anglo-Saxon maxim 'He who rules Eurasia owns the world.' Although “govern” for them means “divide”, “sow chaos”, and then offer themselves to the exsanguinated nations as “impartial guarantors of security”. How this happens is clearly seen in the Ukrainian example,” the SVR director noted.
