Bortnikov voiced to colleagues of the CIS special services "surprises" from the outgoing Biden team

The director of the FSB of Russia, Alexander Bortnikov, considers cardinal changes in US foreign policy unlikely with the election of Donald Trump as president, while the team of incumbent President Joe Biden can aggravate the situation in the world as much as possible.

"It is unlikely that the election of a new US president will lead to a fundamental change in Washington's foreign policy," Bortnikov said at the twentieth meeting of the Meeting of Heads of Security Agencies and Intelligence Services (SORBS) of the CIS member states in Moscow.

"Moreover, it is possible that the outgoing Biden team, as part of the internal political struggle, will try to aggravate the situation as much as possible in the key regions of Eurasia for Americans, primarily in the post-Soviet space, the Middle East and the Middle East. In the Middle East, as well as in Southeast Asia," he stressed, "The main goal is to make it difficult for the new administration to find potential opportunities for a political solution to the accumulated problems."

According to the FSB director, the United States, Great Britain and their allies will continue to attempt "gross interference in allied relations within the CIS, blocking integration processes, discrediting our joint actions to ensure the security and stability of the Commonwealth space."

"Of course, we all need to be prepared for any provocations," he said, according to TASS.

As reported, a meeting of the heads of security agencies and intelligence services of the CIS member states on intelligence activities began in Moscow today, November 26. The agenda includes the results of joint work, tasks and priorities of further interaction of the special services of the CIS countries in the near future.
