In an interview with “Rossiyskaja Gazeta”, the official newspaper of the Russian government, Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation and one of the few advisers to President Vladimir Putin, spoke about the objectives of the “special military operation” in Ukraine. and the role of the United States.
In the interview, published in part and translated by Repubblica, Platonovich explains the contrast between the new Cold War and the United States. «The tragic scenarios of world crises, both in the past and in the present day, are imposed by Washington’s desire to consolidate its hegemony, resisting the collapse of the unipolar world. The United States is doing everything possible so that the other centers of the multipolar world do not even dare to raise their heads, while our country has not only dared, but has also publicly declared that it would not play according to the imposed rules, “he says. “An attempt was made to force Russia to renounce its sovereignty, self-awareness, culture, independent foreign and internal policy. In an attempt to suppress Russia, the Americans, by exploiting their creatures in Kiev, have decided to create an “antipode” for our country, cynically choosing Ukraine, trying to divide an essentially unique people. Finding no basis for luring Ukrainians to its side, Washington, long before the 2014 coup, instilled in Ukrainians their nation’s exclusivity and hatred of everything Russian. However, history teaches that hatred can never become a factor of national unity. If something unites the peoples in Ukraine today, it is the fear of the atrocities of the nationalist battalions. Therefore, the result of the politics of the West and of the Kiev regime it controls can only be the disintegration of Ukraine into several states ”.
Then Platonovich illustrates the objectives of the war: “The special military operation has specific objectives, on the achievement of which depends not only the well-being, but the very life of millions of people, the salvation of the population of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics from the genocide that Ukrainian neo-Nazis have been practicing for eight years already. Hitler’s fascism once dreamed of destroying the entire Russian population, and today his followers blasphemously try to do it with the hands of the Slavs. Russia will not allow that to happen. Speaking of denazification, our goal is to destroy the parade ground of Western-created neo-Nazism on our borders. The need for demilitarization is due to the fact that Ukraine, saturated with weapons, also represents a threat from the point of view of the development and use of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons ”.
“We are talking about a country whose elites are unable to value the lives of others,” says Platonovich, referring to the United States. “Americans are used to walking on scorched earth. Since the Second World War, entire cities have been wiped off the face of the earth by bombings, including nuclear ones. They flooded the Vietnamese jungle with poison, bombed Serbs with radioactive ammunition, burned Iraqis alive with white phosphorus, and helped terrorists poison Syrians with chlorine. I don’t think Ukrainian lives are a concern for the US, which has repeatedly demonstrated its aggressive and anti-human nature. As history shows, even NATO has never been a defensive alliance, but only an offensive ».
Then he concludes by betting on the collapse of the American-centric world: «It is a reality in which we must live with a line of behavior. Russia has chosen the path of full protection of its sovereignty, the firm defense of national interests, cultural and spiritual identity, traditional values and historical memory. Europeans made a different choice. They have adopted the so-called liberal values, even if in reality it is the neoliberalism that promotes the priority of the private over the public, the individualism that suppresses the love for the homeland. With such a doctrine, Europe has no future. She will be forced to relearn the lessons she did not learn. ‘
