Ukrainian military in KyivMOSCOW, Apr 7The Russian special operation in Ukraine has become a point of no return for the collective West in the policy of Russophobia, says the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Sergei Naryshkin. (or even centuries) declared basic principles, such as the inviolability of private property, freedom of speech or unlimited dissemination of information,» Naryshkin wrote in an article published in the National Defense magazine.
Map and first results of Russia's special operation in UkraineIn addition, he noted, Russia's special military operation was «a real moment of truth» for the Russian world, firmly declaring its readiness to fully defend its right to a distinctive existence «in the face of aggressive globalism embodied in American hegemony , NATO expansion, the policy of «liberal interventionism» and LGBT propaganda.» «Lacking the strength or courage to challenge Russia openly and honestly, the West is trying to arrange an economic, informational and humanitarian blockade for our country, to create an atmosphere of» toxicity «around it,» which would make it impossible to continue normal life,» Naryshkin added. For this, the mechanism of the «cancellation culture» is used, worked out by «the American left-liberal elites on their competitors from the right camp, and now scaled up to the global level,» explained the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service. , starting with Russian companies, banks and media and ending Naryshkin recalled, “The latter are punished only because they refuse to repeat the mantras about the Russian “invasion” of Ukraine and betray their homeland. The degree of absurdity and hysteria is so over the top that even Russian cats are under attack, which are suspended from participation in foreign exhibitions, «the director of the SVR noted. «Russian cats, however, will not survive the same, which cannot be said about European and American consumers,» — he added.
