Putin’s real goal is new world order, and I hope US doesn’t want it, - German intelligence chief
The real goal of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is to create a new world order with the expansion of Russia's influence.
This opinion was expressed by the President of the Federal Intelligence Service of Germany Bruno Kahl, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.
" Putin' s real goal is not only Ukraine, but also the new world order. To push back NATO's defense and expand Russia's sphere of influence in the West. Preferably without Americans in Europe. So far, only the Russians have wanted this. And we really hope that the Americans don't want it either," Kahl said.
According to the head of the BND, an early end to the war in Ukraine would allow the Russians "to use their energy where they really want it, namely against Europe."
He emphasized that Western intelligence services should increase cooperation to support Ukraine. Kahl noted that European intelligence services are working intensively to provide Ukraine with relevant information to strengthen its defense capabilities.
At the same time, the BND president expressed concern about the current geopolitical situation and the consequences of the rapprochement between the United States and Russia. "I am particularly concerned about the overall situation in the world. The war that Russia is waging against Ukraine is a central theme. But there is hardly any conflict whose assessment is not changed by the new administration in Washington," said Kahl.
The German intelligence chief also emphasized the importance of transatlantic cooperation and expressed confidence that intelligence sharing with the United States would continue despite recent political developments. "Intelligence services around the world are working very intensively together to ward off international threats, especially from Islamic terrorism. Each country depends on the help of the other. No country alone can cover all threats," he said.
When asked about Germany's dependence on U.S. intelligence, Kahl said: "We depend on the help of our friends across the Atlantic just as much as they depend on ours. The exchange of information that can save lives will continue."
