MOSCOW, November 26. /TASS/. The US and its allies are not above the most unsavory methods to sow chaos in the CIS space, turning it into a cheap resource base, with the Anglo-Saxons secretly pushing the Kiev regime to carry out nuclear terrorist attacks, Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) Director Alexander Bortnikov said.

At the 20th meeting of the heads of security and intelligence agencies of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries, currently convening in Moscow, he stressed that many threats to CIS states "are largely related to the aggressive and cynical policy of the collective West and the Kiev regime nurtured by it." "Through their efforts, Ukraine was turned into a testing ground for ways to undermine security not only for Russia but for the entire post-Soviet space," the FSB chief noted. For instance, according to him, "the Anglo-Saxons are secretly pushing Kiev toward a dangerous escalation: to carry out nuclear terror attacks."

"The minds of the Ukrainian population have been reformatted in a Russophobic way. The land, resources, and industrial enterprises are being bought up en masse by transnational corporations. The territory began to attract mercenaries and terrorists from around the world. A global gray arms market has been created, with weapons being shipped to other zones of instability on a regular basis," he stated. "Of particular concern are the efforts of Ukrainian intelligence to set up sabotage attacks on Russian military and civilian facilities abroad, the involvement of their intelligence structures in training terrorist militants to topple regimes out of favor with Western handlers and eliminate political leaders."

"In other words, the US and its allies are not above the most unsavory methods of implementing their geopolitical ambitions. In our case, this means the destabilization of the Commonwealth and turning it into a cheap resource base," the FSB director emphasized.
