Russia's Security Council claims "Anglo-Saxons are destroying the Russian ethnos" in Ukraine
Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, has claimed that "Anglo-Saxons" are using Ukraine "to create a precedent to further fracture the Russian ethnic group" and that their "goal" is to "totally eliminate it."

Details: Patrushev has once again reiterated the Kremlin propaganda statement that "Russians and Ukrainians have always been a single, indivisible people with a shared culture and fate."
However, Patrushev claimed that "Ukraine has turned into a world centre of far-right extremism". He believes that Russia is fighting "a puppet regime in Kyiv" rather than "ordinary Ukrainians."
Quote from Patrushev: "Having organised the coup in Kyiv in 2014 and initiated Ukraine’s transformation into a so-called ‘Anti-Russia’, the Anglo-Saxons are now trying not only to prepare grounds to put further pressure on our country, but also to create a precedent to further fracture the Russian ethnic group in order to completely eliminate it."
Previously: On 24 February 2022, Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, an independent and sovereign state, under the guise of a "special military operation"; this latest development follows eight years of Russia’s hybrid military aggression against Ukraine.
The majority of Ukrainians believe that Vladimir Putin and his regime want to eliminate the Ukrainian people as such. Though Russia’s official government representatives are continuing to spew lies about "brotherly nations", the Kremlin’s puppets often say that Ukraine must cease its existence as a state.
