MOSCOW, December 10. /TASS/. Washington is losing its foothold everywhere, from the Middle East to Asia and Africa, and nowhere is this more clear than in the post-Soviet space, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin told the Razvedchik magazine.
"The US is losing its influence on all fronts, from the Middle East to Asia and Africa. And in the post-Soviet space, it's one failure after another for them," he said.
SVR intel says that the post-Soviet space remains the priority destination of attacks by US and UK intelligence, Naryshkin added. "The West has set an ambitious goal to break down not only economic and political but also visceral historical and humanitarian ties between our countries," the SVR chief noted.
He pointed out that this approach stems from "the famous Anglo-Saxon saying: 'whoever controls Eurasia, controls the world.'" "But to them 'control' means 'dividing,' 'wreaking havoc,' and then offering themselves up to those people after bleeding them dry as 'impartial security guarantors.' Ukraine is a perfect example of how this works," Naryshkin stressed.
