⚡️ Head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergey Naryshkin (key points):

• The more successfully the Russian special military operation in #Ukraine develops, the stronger the hysteria becomes in the #UnitedStates and other #NATO countries.

• The masks have been dropped. The #West is not just trying to surround #Russia with a new "Iron Curtain". We witnessed attempts to destroy our state, attempts of its "cancellation".

• #NATO bombed #Yugoslavia under the pretext of rescuing the "unfortunate" #Kosovo Albanians, and now their leader Hashim Thaci himself is on trial for war crimes and trafficking of human organs.

• At the Munich Security Conference #Zelenskiy threatened to reconsider Ukraine's renunciation of #nuclear weapons. According to the intelligence data, work in this direction was carried out in #Ukraine.

• The neutral status of #Ukraine is of critical importance for #Russia. This is well understood by #American and #NATO experts, and that is why they have taken Ukraine so tightly in a situation where #Russia has challenged the weakening American hegemony.

• #Russia was simply left with no other choice. The only way to ensure our own security is the demilitarization and denazification of the Ukrainian state.

• It is clearly visible from the intelligence information that the American administration and the Ukrainian regime obedient to it are betting on the maximum prolongation of the conflict, its development into a positional war of a high degree of intensity.

• Groups of armed foreign militants are sent to #Ukraine, who are tasked with organizing and supporting the so-called partisan underground.
#Washington really hopes that #Russia will get bogged down in this operation and perish,…

• …and they will be able to quietly deal with the "cleansing" of the #MiddleEast, #Eurasia and the #AsiaPacific region. This will not happen: "the ancient has passed, now everything is new”.

• As for the future of Ukraine, it will, of course, be determined by the Ukrainians themselves. But it will be a completely different #Ukraine and a different story.

• At the moment a fundamentally new stage in European & world history is unfolding. Its essence lies in the collapse of the unipolar world and the system of international relations based on the right of the strongest, that is, the #US, to destroy other states.

• Let's add that the current conflict in #Ukraine is a good reason to conduct a thorough revision of international legal regimes and obligations, to develop fundamentally new modalities of relations with the #West and with the whole world.

• The war in the post-Soviet space, if anyone has not noticed, has not stopped for thirty years, and now #Russia has a real chance to put this to an end.
