AA / MOSCOU / ELENA TESLOVA
The intensification of geopolitical rivalries increases the risks of violent confrontations between states with nuclear capacities, warned Sergei Choïgou, secretary of the Russian Security Council on Friday.
In an interview with the Russian public news agency TASS, Choigou said that Western nations lead an “ideological assault and based on values” against Russia and Belarus. He stressed that these efforts are not limited to economic sanctions, but also aim to destabilize the internal political systems of the two countries.
“In a context of growing world conflicts and intensified geopolitical competition, the risk of violent confrontations between the great powers, including those with nuclear capacities, increases,” warned Choïgou.
He criticized the West for his continuous efforts to undermine social stability, destabilize national foundations and impose what he described as “foreign neoliberal ideology” on global society.
Chogou said that these actions not only harm Russia and Belarus, but that they also contribute to global instability.
-“We are witnessing a continuous devaluation of international institutions, which are increasingly transformed into political tools. Efforts are also deployed to sabotage global initiatives aimed at preventing an arms race in space, thus pushing the extra space -atmospheric to become a new armed conflict arena, “he added.
He concluded by arguing that these actions reflect a deliberate attempt to weaken Russia and Belarus, depriving them of their sovereignty as well as their capacity to determine their development trajectories or to continue their strategic interests.
