Nikolai Pattrusev added that the West is trying to wipe Russia out of the world's political map.
Putin considers the war in Ukraine a existential battle and accuses the West of being aggressive and arrogant. The Russian leader has said Russia will use all means available to protect itself and its people against any aggressor.
Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Pattrusev is viewed by diplomats as one of the people who have great influence on Putin. He has promised victory in Ukraine, despite the Russian troops facing many obstacles on the battlefield.
“The developments in Ukraine are not confrontations between Moscow and Kiev ) this is a military confrontation between Russia and NATO, and above all the United States and Britain”, Patosev said during an interview for the newspaper The Evidence.
The “The Westerners' plans are to keep dividing Russia and wiping it out from the world's political map”, Ptrusev added.
The United States has dismissed claims that it wants to destroy Russia, which is the largest natural resource producer. US President Joe Biden has warned that a conflict between Russia and NATO could spur the launch of World War III.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, is one of the deadliest conflicts in Europe since World War II. It has also caused the biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, when the Soviet Union and the United States were close to a nuclear war. / REL/
