The US is losing the initiative on all fronts, and setbacks have begun for Washington in the post-Soviet space. Armenia and Azerbaijan "don't really listen to the US and EU advice on peaceful settlement, preferring to resolve all the issues independently." This was stated by Sergey Naryshkin, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia, in an interview with the Russian magazine Razvedchik.

"(…) it [i.e. the US] records failures, in general, in the post-Soviet territory," said Naryshkin.

In this context, he cited the example of Georgia and Moldova.

Also, according to Naryshkin, the post-Soviet territory remains a priority target of attacks by the US and UK special services, as evidenced by the analysis of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service data.
