Putin’s Ex-Advisor Reveals Russia’s Unbounded Expansionist Goals
In a recent interview, Vladislav Surkov, a former Putin advisor, declared that Russia’s “Russian World” ideology is boundless and its influence will continue to expand. He described a Russian victory as the military subjugation and fragmentation of Ukraine, aligning with Moscow’s long-term goal of reclaiming its sphere of influence since the Soviet collapse. Surkov explicitly stated that Russia will continue its expansion in all directions. This expansionist ambition, as evidenced by continued intense shelling of Ukrainian civilians, has been a key element of Kremlin policy for decades.
