Shoigu said that Western countries are trying to turn Russia into an aggressor.

The leadership of Western countries declares Russia the main aggressor, but the political leadership of the Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that Russia is not a threat, the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, said on Wednesday. "Today it is clear that the political leadership of the Western coalition, instead of improving the quality of life of citizens who have entrusted their children's future into their hands, continues to try to realize their sick fantasies, to declare Russia as the aggressor and the main enemy, to frighten their population with an imaginary Russian threat," Shoigu said at the retreat meeting in Pyatgorsk.
