The West Aims to Divide Russia into Smaller Parts: The Goal is Russia's Elimination – Putin

The West has one goal: to fragment the former USSR and Russia, after which they can receive Russia into what they call the family of civilized nations, but each part separately. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“For what? So that those parts can be governed and kept under their control,” said Putin in an interview with Pavel Zarubin for the ‘Moscow. Kremlin. Putin’ program, which airs on the ‘Rossiya 1’ television channel.

As the Russian president noted, the West's plans for the division of Russia are documented, but Moscow has tried not to speak about it.

He believes that if Russia follows the path that the West dreams of, the fates of many peoples in Russia could radically change, and the Russian people might find it difficult to preserve their nationality.

Moreover, Putin emphasized that a crucial condition for Russia's achievements and victories is the unity and cohesion of the people.

According to him, attempts by the West to reshape the world exclusively for itself after the collapse of the USSR have led to a situation where Russia has no choice but to respond.

“In today’s circumstances, when all leading NATO countries have declared their main goal is to inflict a strategic defeat on us, so that our people suffer, as they say, and as I recalled yesterday. Well, how can we not take their nuclear capabilities into account in these conditions? Especially since they are supplying Ukraine with tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons,” Putin stated.
