WALL – Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his speech at the 10th Moscow Conference on International Security, said, “I reiterate that the age of the unipolar world is a thing of the past. Historical geopolitical changes are going in a completely different direction.”
KremlinAccording to the statement made by Putin, in his speech, “The situation in the world is changing dynamically and the outlines of the multipolar world order are taking shape. An increasing number of countries and peoples are choosing a free and sovereign path of development based on their different identities, traditions and values. These objective processes “Western globalist elites, who incite chaos and fuel new conflicts, are opposed,” he said.
Reacting to NATO’s security policies in Europe in his speech, Putin said, “The West is deliberately undermining the European security system and bringing together new military alliances. NATO is advancing east and building its military infrastructure, deploying missile defense systems and increasing its offensive capabilities. “They are hypocritically tied to the need to strengthen security in Europe, but actually the opposite is happening. They need conflicts to maintain their hegemony,” he said.
Defending that Russia’s attack on Ukraine “conforms to the UN Charter”, Putin said, “We decided to organize a special military operation in Ukraine, and this decision is completely in line with the United Nations Charter. The purpose of this operation is to ensure that Russia and Russia “It is clearly stated that it is to ensure the safety of its citizens and to protect the inhabitants of Donbass from genocide.”
Referring to the Taiwan crisis between the USA and China in his speech, Putin said, “The United States has recently made another deliberate attempt to fuel the flames and stir things up in the Asia-Pacific. This is part of the deliberate U.S. strategy designed to sow chaos. “It is a brazen sign of disrespect for its international commitments. We see this as a thoroughly planned provocation,” he said.
Putin continued his speech as follows:
“It is clear that reducing tension in the world, overcoming military-political threats and risks, increasing trust between countries and ensuring their sustainable development is only possible with the radical strengthening of a contemporary multipolar world system. I repeat that the age of a unipolar world is a thing of the past.”
“Historical geopolitical shifts are going in a completely different direction. I would like to emphasize that a multipolar world, based on international law and fairer relations, creates new opportunities for regional conflicts and common threats such as the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and cybercrime. All these challenges are global and therefore it will be impossible to overcome them without combining the efforts and potential of all states.”
Russia will secure its national interests as well as the protection of its allies and will take further steps to build a more democratic world where the rights of all peoples and the diversity of cultures and civilizations are guaranteed. We need to restore respect for international law and its fundamental norms and principles. The UN Security Council and General Assembly should, as originally intended, serve as effective tools to reduce international tensions and prevent conflict, while facilitating the security and well-being of countries and peoples.
