March 12, 2025 (EIRNS)—The day after Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) blasted London for its imperial scheme to pit the U.S. and Russia against each other and its manipulations to destroy any dialogue between the two countries, SVR Director Sergey Naryshkin and the U.S.’s CIA Director John Ratcliffe initiated an ongoing dialogue process. The two spoke by phone yesterday on how to “promote international stability and security, as well as to reduce tensions in relations between Moscow and Washington,” as reported by the SVR. They discussed cooperation “on areas of mutual interest and the resolution of crisis situations.” They committed to holding discussions between the two of them on a regular basis.
On March 10, the SVR released a hard-hitting statement, covered by Apocalypsis Apocalyseos under the headline “Perfidious Albion Draws the World into War Again—Russian Foreign Intelligence Service,” reporting that, “according to information received by the SVR, the British leadership sees a threat to its interests in the promotion of dialogue between the United States and Russia on resolving the Ukrainian conflict. London fears that this will lead to the failure of the British strategy of ‘containing’ Moscow.... London is extremely irritated by the fact that D. Trump ‘is conducting a dialogue with Russia as with a superpower and demonstrating disdain for its closest allies.’...
“In the current situation, the British authorities consider it an ‘urgent priority’ to undermine the ‘peacekeeping’ efforts of the new American administration on the Ukrainian track. The media and ‘specialized’ NGOs have been tasked with demonizing Trump, presenting him as ‘a man with a poor track record in peacekeeping, vulnerable to manipulation by the Kremlin.’
