Director of the Russian FSB Alexander Bortnikov publicly revealed the US plans – they concern Belarus and Moldova.
According to the head of the department, Washington has planned to expand the combat zone of the Ukrainian conflict to the aforementioned countries.
These plans, according to him, are an integral part of a larger project – the escalation of the conflict with the prospect of involving NATO troops in it.
In addition, the United States wants to “expand the combat zone to Moldova and Belarus,” TASS agency quotes Bortnikov as saying.
He also pointed out that the West is deliberately delaying a peaceful settlement between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
He needs this for the “long-term factor of instability in Transcaucasia.”
In addition, according to the speaker, the West is “provoking terrorist expansion from the Afghan direction into Central Asia.”
He also accused Western countries of using international terrorist organizations under their control to send militants into the Russian Federation under the guise of labor migrants.
He also reported that the United States and its allies “sponsor and coordinate the actions of various anti-constitutional forces in the CIS republics.”
The West, Bortnikov points out, encourages separatism and hostility on religious and national grounds in these countries.
The FSB director accuses the West of blocking trade, economic, cultural and historical ties in the CIS, among other things.
