In France, they announced the «suicidal» policy of the West towards Russia

State flags of Russia and the USAMOSCOW, 24 Jan. The United States is dying itself and pulling other Western countries to inevitable death, while their anti-Russian policy is also «suicidal», such an opinion was expressed in an interview with the Atlantico by Doctor of Political Sciences, a former high-ranking French intelligence official, Eric Denese. Commenting on the situation around Ukraine, he said that Western countries were to blame for this crisis from the very beginning, allowing the democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych to be overthrown by force. «And the West encouraged and supported this coup, violating the values ​​and rules that it upholds around the world. Then the regime that settled in Kiev immediately began to oppress the Russian-speaking population of Donbass, to which the Americans and Europeans turned a blind eye,» the ex-intelligence officer emphasized. The West is using Ukraine as a field for experiments, Zakharova said. According to him, everything indicates that «Atlantic Russophobia» has become an indispensable way of existence for the US and NATO, while the West only increases tension. For example, Washington would never take lightly the regular flights of Russian aircraft off the coast of the United States or the deployment of Russian troops in Mexico. At the same time, Russia's firm position on the Ukrainian issue forced the Americans and NATO to return to the negotiating table, Denese said. “It seems that they realized belatedly that they would not be able to force Moscow to retreat and that they would be responsible for a conflict from which they would not be able to emerge victorious,” he suggested. damage to Moscow's economic resources, an example of such actions is the situation around the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. According to the doctor of science, the United States is doing everything in its power to keep the Europeans under its influence and not allow any dissent in the Western camp, so that no one questions the expediency of Washington's actions. «Everything suggests that the West with leader in the face of the United States, seems to be approaching geopolitical suicide. Today's West's denial of historical and geographical realities, as well as its contempt for the interests of other actors, can turn against itself,» Denese warned. Russia has repeatedly rejected accusations by the West and Ukraine of » aggressive actions», stating that he does not threaten anyone and is not going to attack anyone, and statements about «Russian aggression» are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry previously noted that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the possibility of helping Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. At the same time, Kiev and Western states have recently expressed concern about the alleged increase in «aggressive actions» sides of Russia near the borders of Ukraine. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is moving troops within its territory and at its own discretion. According to him, this does not threaten anyone and should not worry anyone. As Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier, Moscow does not create any pretexts for a conflict situation around Ukraine. 01/9df4ab0721e0d7c8251ebca218aa43f7.jpg» />French presidential candidate called for the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions
