What did the leaders of the Soviet Union feel would provide the most protection for their country? Receiving a declaration from the United Nations condemning war having friendly, pro-communist countries along all their borders having free trade with all the countries in Europe and Asia if all weapons were to be removed from Europe

Having friendly, pro-communist countries along all their borders.

Explanation:

The Soviet Union's main goal after the end of the Second World War was to propagate and help build communism. This will allow them to be on equal ideological beliefs and not hinder or even oppose them. And that will enable them to dominate and have world power over other countries.
