Americans saved Russia and are doing it again, – Tuka

Former Deputy Minister for the Temporarily Occupied Territories (2016-2019), Maidan volunteer Georgiy Tuka, in an interview with "Komersant Ukrainian", shared his vision of Russia’s future, the role of the West in preserving it, and the political behavior of the United States.
When asked what could happen after the possible collapse of Russia, Georgy Tuka answered uncompromisingly:
The fewer of them there are on the globe, the calmer it will be for everyone around.
He compares the current Western fears of Russia’s collapse to the situation before the collapse of the USSR:
“Just as the West was afraid of the collapse of the Soviet Union, now it is afraid of the collapse of the Russian Federation. And this is almost the only safeguard holding back decisive action.
According to Tuka, Russia has already passed through a point of almost inevitable disintegration in the 1990s, and it was the United States that saved it.
Many people don’t remember or don’t know: Russia was really cracking. In Kaliningrad, about 88% of residents supported the idea of joining the EU as a separate entity. Tatarstan and Bashkortostan were closing the skies to Aeroflot, the Sverdlovsk region was printing its own money, and the Far East had already announced the creation of the Far Eastern People’s Republic.
The former government official emphasizes that it was the United States that prevented Russia from collapsing in the 1990s, and, in his opinion, is still supporting it today, despite its declared opposition. Tuka cites the example of a recent meeting between a White House representative and Alexander Lukashenko:
“In early September, one of the representatives of the Biden administration came to see Lukashenko. Later, sanctions were lifted against Belavia. And the parts allowed for import to Belarus are apparently not for Belavia, but for Russian aviation, which is barely staying afloat.
On Trump, Putin, and “explanations without action”
Commenting on Donald Trump’s behavior, Tuka spoke out harshly:
“I don’t believe in conspiracies about the KGB and Trump. But he himself has repeatedly demonstrated that he feels some kind of pathological sympathy for Putin. This is not my assumption, it is a fact.
Speaking about the West’s general indecision in countering the aggressor, Tuka formulates a tough summary:
A person who wants to do something looks for ways. A person who doesn’t want to does look for excuses. Look at the last seven months – only threats and ultimatums.
Georgiy Tuka is convinced that the main threat to the world is not the collapse of Russia, but the fact that they are trying to prevent it again. Western elites are still living in the fears of the past, he believes, instead of giving a chance to reformat the post-Russian space into a more secure configuration for the world.
