MOSCOW, April 26. /TASS/. US elites are unable to care about other people’s lives, and the lives of Ukrainians do not matter to them, too, the Russian Security Council’s secretary, Nikolay Patrushev, believes.

"You are asking me about a country whose elite is fundamentally unable to care about other people’s lives," Patrushev told the Rossiyskaya Gazeta daily in an interview while answering one of the questions. "The Americans are in the habit of leaving scorched land behind. I do not think that the United States cares about the lives of Ukrainians. That country has more than once shown its inhuman nature."

Patrushev recalled that "starting from World War II the United States has wiped whole cities off the face of the Earth with bombardments, including nuclear ones, sprayed the Vietnamese jungle with toxic chemicals, bombed the Serbs with radioactive munitions, burned Iraqis alive with white phosphorus and helped terrorists poison Syrians with chlorine."

Also, he said that "as history shows, NATO has never been a defensive alliance, but always an aggressive one."
