ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI: “INDEPENDENCE OF POST-SOVIET COUNTRIES IS THREATENED”
“Ukraine could well be the Russia’s next flash point after Georgia”, Zbigniev Brzezinski, US former National Security Adviser told Time magazine. “Russia’s aggression toward Georgia should not be viewed as an isolated incident.
The fact is, Putin and his associates in the Kremlin don’t accept the post-Soviet realities. Independent democracies like Georgia and Ukraine, for the Putin regime, are not only historical anomalies, but also represent a direct political threat. Therefore Ukraine could well be the next flash point. The Russian leadership has already openly questioned whether it needs to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Russian leaders have also remarked that Crimea, a part of Ukraine, should once again be joined to Russia. Moscow is also continuing to try to economically isolate central Asian neighbors like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The stakes are high. Ultimately, the independence of the post-Soviet states is at risk”.
