Russia considers US a threat to its national security

Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved a document which declares, for the first time, that the United States is a threat to his country’s national security.

Reuters reports that the statement claims Russia’s “international and domestic” policies have resulted in “counteraction from the USA and its allies, which are striving to retain their dominance in global affairs.” This is expected to result in “political, economical, military and informational pressure.”

Russia and the West have strongly differed over a number of issues recently, including Russia’s actions in Ukraine and the ongoing civil war in Syria. Each sides has since ordered sanctions and restrictions on the other.

According to the document, the US and EU are supporting an “anti-constitutional coup d’etat in Ukraine,” and blames NATO for threatening Russian security. There is no mention of Syria.

The statement is titled “About the Strategy of National Security of Russian Federation,” and is an update to the 2009 document. The previous one did not mention the US or NATO. It will be used by Moscow to help decide national security strategy.
