In addition, the West is trying to tear Russia apart, Patrushev, secretary of the powerful National Security Council, told the newspaper “Argumenti i Fakti”. “The events in Ukraine are not a clash between Moscow and Kyiv – this is a military confrontation between Russia and NATO, and first of all the United States and Great Britain.” The West’s plans are to pull Russia further apart and eventually erase it from the political map of the world.
Patrushev, like Putin, used to be the head of the domestic secret service FSB. The two have known each other since the 1970s. Patrushev is considered a hardliner and one of the few who can influence the president. Putin chairs the Security Council and his deputy is ex-President Dmitry Medvedev. The Security Council includes other leading representatives from politics and the secret service. The body decides on questions of foreign, security and defense policy.
