He is known as a fan of the Kremlin's hard line. In his interview with the Russian publication, he justified Putin's decision to start a full -scale invasion of Ukraine. Patrushev is considered a possible successor to Putin. The warning of the neighbors was made on February 16 in the capital of Kyrgyzstan Bishkek at the sixth meeting of Security Secretaries on Afghan issues. Patrushev accused the event of inflamed conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East for the sake of preserving global dominance.
According to him, Washington can benefit from such "chaos". He stated that the meeting in Bishkek occurred against the background of unprecedented exacerbation of the international position, which was the reason for the desire of the event at all costs to preserve its dominance. "At the same time, Washington is convinced that in the conditions of general chaos it is more convenient. To achieve their goals, Westerners are ready to go for everything," he also said.
The most striking example, according to Patrushev, is a military conflict in Ukraine, which continues, with which the global event wanted to strike a strategic defeat of the Russian Federation. Patrushev repeated the Kremlin Narrative, according to which NATO wages an indirect war with the Russian Federation, providing Ukraine with military assistance. "We also see the desire of Westerners to swing the situation in the Southern Caucasus and prevent the Armenian-Azerbaijani settlement," he added.
