Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov said that during the West 2017 exercise the Russians will train to build the "Kaliningrad corridor", which in reality is impossible without aggression against Lithuania and Poland. This is told in the big special project LIGA. Net, dedicated to the triennial of the Russian-Ukrainian war "War of 2017".

The Kremlin, according to Turchinov, calls restoration of the borders of Russia within the framework of the former Soviet Union one of the priorities.

"This is not concealed, Russian propaganda, security services and security forces are working on this. But an attempt to restore Ukraine, which according to Brzezinski's assessment, is the basic element without which the reanimation of the Empire is impossible, has obviously stalled them, "he says..

According to Turchinov, in order to fulfill its purpose, the regime in Moscow applies, in relation to its neighbors, the technology of drawing in and "tightly tying its interests to the orbit".

"Here, and the impact on elections, on appointments, financial or energy (gas, oil) doping, the deployment of military bases, the creation of a military quasi-union (CSTO - the Collective Security Treaty Organization, which includes Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan ). Well, in the event of the withdrawal of these states, the scheme for the replacement of the leadership will be used for the flags placed for them, and in case of impossibility of this - a banal military force, "says LIGA. Net secretary of the National Security and Defense Council.

In addition, he recalls, Russia does not stop trying to strengthen its influence in the Balkans. An eloquent example is the recent coup attempt in Montenegro.

The National Security Council notes that Russia's aggressive policy is seen in the preparation of joint exercises of the Russian Federation and Belarus "West 2017", where the offensive operations will be developed. "The purpose of the Russian exercise is to check the readiness of troops to conduct large-scale operations, with strict time restrictions on their preparation. "The design of the exercises also presupposes the development of the creation of the Kaliningrad corridor, which in reality is impossible without aggression against Lithuania and Poland," said the NSDC Secretary.
