Moscow — Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev said that the defense alliance AUKUS (AUKUS, USA-Great Britain-Australia) is directed against China and Russia.
“The US Indo-Pacific strategy is an attempt to create an Asian NATO. The new alliance will become another aggressive bloc directed against China and Russia, and at the same time to pacify the now independent states,” Patrushev said in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta .
“The rearmament of the Australian fleet within the framework of the new AUCUS alliance, including the supply of nuclear submarines, military support for Taiwan and South Korea have a long-term goal – establishing US and NATO dominance over Eurasia from its eastern flank,” Patrushev said.
