They came to change the regime, but if you’re conducting a regime change, prepare a new regime, make sure that this new regime is capable of solving the problems that the country is facing. This confirms the claim that we have made several times, in this room included, that such rough geopolitical engineering, changing regimes without looking into the possible consequences, has the most dire consequences,” Churkin told the Rossiya 1 TV channel Sunday.
