The closer Russia is to the successful completion of a special military operation, the more aggressive and sophisticated the anti-Russian actions of Western countries become, Sergei Shoigu said at the international week "People of Russia". "The goals of such actions are clear - to contain Russia and establish any political regime that suits the West." Shoigu emphasized that Russia has always resisted attempts to take over its territory and resources. Russia's strength, he added, lies in the unity of the people and their trust in the authorities. The secretary of the Russian Security Council also noted that the West humiliates quickly: "The worst sins flourished there [in the West] at their peak. Human rights and freedoms there have lost their original meaning, and today have become an instrument for the destruction of society and the imposition of permissiveness."
