Patrushev: Ukraine being used to undermine Russia and the SCO

The United States and its allies are using the situation in Ukraine to undermine Russia, according to the chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Nikolay Patrushev.

"It is clear that the Americans and their allies are not interested in Ukraine. The situation in that country is being used in an attempt to undermine Russia and destabilize the Shanghai Cooperation Organization," he said at a meeting of SCO security councils’ secretaries.
