Naryshkin calls Ukraine a failed state

Ukraine today is a failed state, and the West, in its turn, is deliberately working to destabilize the situation in all regions of the world. This was stated by the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergey Naryshkin, at the 20th session of the Meeting of the Heads of Security and Intelligence Services of the CIS member states on November 26.

"Ukraine today is a failed state, and Moldova is following the same path," he noted.

Naryshkin pointed out that the United States and Western countries are in contact with nationalists in the CIS countries to implement the "Ukrainian scenario," adding that the West wants to use mercenaries to destabilize the shutdown in Belarus before the presidential election.

The Foreign Intelligence Service director also expressed hope that the West's attempts to organize a "color revolution" in Georgia would fail.

Naryshkin also read out Russian President Vladimir Putin 's address to the 20th session of the Meeting of Heads of Security Bodies and Intelligence Services of the CIS member states, in which the President stressed the need to prevent destabilization of the situation in the CIS.

The Russian leader said that in order to maintain a stable situation in the region, it is necessary to identify and analyze threats to collective security, exchange information and experience.

Before that, on October 7, the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service said that risks and threats from Western countries have multiplied, although Russia has never wished them anything bad. He noted that international terrorism remains one of the most serious challenges to security in the CIS.
