MOSCOW, December 10. /TASS/. Washington’s global prestige has been faltering, and many US partners in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are urging Russia "not to stop halfway" in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin said.
"The global prestige of Washington is steadily declining. Even the Americans’ closest allies are turning away from the White House," the SVR chief told Razvedchik magazine in an interview. "You wouldn’t believe how many US partners from Asian, African, and Latin American countries have urged us in direct contacts not to stop halfway in the Ukraine conflict," he added.
The fact that the West "is dismantling its own ‘sacred cows,’" such as the inviolability of private property, cannot be overlooked, Naryshkin stressed. "It is clear to everybody that any country can find itself in Russia’s place," he concluded.
