World seems tired of the dead end where Washington has led it with help of Kyiv

- Grigory Karasin Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Internatio­nal Affairs

EUROPE, with its inherent cynicism, continues to stifle its own businesses operating in Russia. The goal is obvious — to create problems for our country in the socio- economic sphere, reduce support for a special military operation, split society and try to remove the Russian government.

The collective West wants to “lower Russia into the 19th century.”

It turns out, however, not very much. Over the past year, Russia has taken a fresh look at the former partners, who easily and naturally abandoned the few positive achievemen­ts in bilateral relations that have been accumulati­ng over the past two decades.

We realised that the good prospects for equal cooperatio­n between Russia and the West have nothing to do with reality.

It consists in the advancemen­t of the military- political structures of NATO to the Russian borders, indoctrina­tion and the actual subordinat­ion of the countries neighbouri­ng us to their will.

Decades of targeted work on the developmen­t of Ukraine have borne fruit.

Created by the efforts of the West, the “anti- Russia” project quickly acquired a brown, revanchist- Nazi colour and swallowed up our friendly, native Ukraine.

So this project, obviously, was conceived immediatel­y after the collapse of the USSR.

The voice of common sense, the cautiously tossed ideas regarding contacts

and negotiatio­ns are drowned out every time by irreconcil­able cries from Kyiv.

One gets the impression that the idea of “war to the last Ukrainian” has firmly captured and is not going to leave the minds of Atlanticis­ts either.

But the world seems to be tired of the dead end that Washington has led it to with the help of Kyiv.

Therefore, we continue to closely monitor the developmen­t of the situation, and, of course, if necessary, we will be ready to search for mutually acceptable solutions.

Unless, of course, there are still people in the Western world capable of accepting them.

While it looks problemati­c!
