"The West has decided to remove Russia from the great world chessboard, but it does not yet see its collapse" - military expert Chernyk

Military expert Petro Chernyk shared his opinion with Espreso TV. 

"The time has come for the decolonization of Russia. It is actually incredibly difficult to predict how it will all end, because, unfortunately, the collective West decided to remove the third player from the great world chessboard, but did not decide to completely collapse it in the territorial sense of the word," he said.

The military expert emphasized that the collective West is afraid that after the collapse of the Russian Federation, an empty Siberia will be transferred to China, which also pursues a policy of dictatorship and tyranny.

"So far, the West, primarily the Anglo-Saxons, do not see the collapse of the Russian Federation. Everything is extremely simple: empty Siberia, which is 40% of the world's resources, will immediately pass to China, which also woke up to be a hegemon. And believe me, in terms of tyranny, China is no better than Russia," Petro Chernyk added.
