Patrushev's Threats About Ukraine's Disappearance: British Intelligence Reveals Kremlin's True Intentions.
The British military intelligence reported on Mykola Patrushev's statement regarding the possible 'termination of Ukraine's existence in 2025', aimed at undermining Ukrainian statehood and cultural identity. According to the intelligence report, such statements are part of a systematic campaign by the Russian leadership.
British analysts noted that such statements contradict Russia's international obligations, as it recognized Ukraine's independence and sovereignty. Intelligence established that Russia is trying to use historical traumas and the impact of World War II to create an image of Ukraine as a threat.

In particular, the intelligence drew attention to Patrushev's interview, where he rejected the possibility of returning occupied territories and legitimized pseudo-referendums, which was stated in the Normandy format. The intelligence also noted that Russia's rhetoric and accusations of Ukraine being Nazi are aimed at mobilizing military forces and supporting the war among the civilian population of the Russian Federation.
Russian propaganda is actively disseminated through state media, distorting the real picture for the domestic audience.
In Patrushev's interview, it was announced that Russia will demand international recognition of the annexation of Crimea and four Ukrainian regions as a condition for future negotiations. This indicates a persistent aggressive course of the Russian leadership.
