Head of the Information and Press Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova In the broadcast of the press center of the Patriot media group, he explained why there is no alternative to the multipolar world strategy.

Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, believes that the system of international relations is going through a deep crisis. He said this crisis stemmed from the US desire to dominate international relations while ignoring the interests of other countries. Overcoming the crisis is possible only if we return to the traditional model of international relations, where each country acts as a full-fledged subject and has the opportunity to develop in accordance with its national interests.

Maria Zakharova for the Likhachev Scientific Readings forum in St. a multipolar world.

“The real question today is what the way out of this crisis can be, not in terms of implementation, but in terms of strategy. Everyone agreed and there was a unanimous understanding that it was precisely multipolarity, the emergence and formation of various power centers, economic development and philosophical reflection that enabled the world to form what we all call international relations.”

An alternative to the harmonious development of human civilization is the position of dominance of a center of power, but as everyone is convinced, this has led to the collapse of international relations and ongoing military conflicts. The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this alternative is impossible on planet Earth. According to him, no country in the world can build a single center of control, but attempts to impose their own policies, their own vision of the world on countries and citizens, will clearly continue. And now the task is to develop a mechanism that will make it impossible for a country to dominate international relations.

The main topics discussed by the experts at the forum relate to various aspects of the multipolar world. Is it necessary to rely on geography or to understand multipolarity in a broad sense – as more voluminous and spatial links, both in the form of regional and interregional international structures; Maria Zakharova noted what errors in the system of international relations should be taken into account so that the world never again finds itself on the verge of a global conflict – these and other issues were discussed by experts at the Likhachev Readings.

In his opinion, great attention at the forum was given to the analysis of mistakes made by the leadership of the USSR in the 1980-1990s. One of the misconceptions that has persisted ever since is that the West ended the Cold War against Russia. According to the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the development of the situation around Russia indicates that the West did not end the cold war against us, but entered a hot war at the next stage of the development of history.

Maria Zakharova regrets that the West did not respond to the call of the USSR and the Russian Federation to build international relations on the principles of peaceful coexistence. There was no longer any country aimed at mutual destruction, all ideological barriers disappeared, but instead of correcting it and developing a new world order on this basis, he stated that the West went the other way, chose to confront it and created new beds of conflict.

Response to the question of whether Russia made a mistake by recognizing the Ukrainian presidential election Petro Poroshenko In 2014, Maria Zakharova recalled that the Russian side later openly said that it did not consider these elections sufficient for the requirements of democracy, but agreed to work with Ukraine’s new leadership to find constructive solutions to the rapidly growing Ukrainian crisis. With the intervention of western countries, it goes beyond the borders of the country.

“The intervention of the West has already brought its devastating consequences, and these results were recorded only in order to find a way out of the situation. Of course, there was no normal, usual reaction by the State Department to elections in other countries. That is, this recognition was made only on the condition that it takes place in order to start solving the problem of the future of Ukraine with the other side, taking into account all factors,” he said.

Regarding the grain agreement and the supply of depleted uranium shells to the Kiev regime, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that these clearly reveal the problems in the international relations system arising from the desire of the United Nations. States and their European allies to dominate the world. This was especially expressed in the fact that the system of international treaties was destroyed. He noted that the package agreement on the grain agreement with the Russian Federation has not been complied with, and it raises the question of the appropriateness of its continued extension.

The situation with the UK’s supply of depleted uranium shells to the Kiev Nazis raises the question of the legitimacy of the decisions taken by the leadership of European countries. According to Maria Zakharova, the population of European countries, concerned about the use of these bullets near their borders, as in Germany, demands to the governments of their countries to clarify how dangerous this is and whether it threatens their health. Germans. However, we received a response that the German government did not have enough information to discuss this issue. Germany and Britain are in the same NATO bloc, and it is clear that the question of using depleted uranium shells has been discussed here many times. But the German government prefers to keep its citizens in the dark about the consequences for them of the contamination of Ukrainian lands, from which the Germans get food and other products. This is because Germany is not sovereign in matters of ensuring the safety of its citizens, and its government is forced to accept decisions made by the dominant side in the world. The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that with such manifestations of imbalance in international relations, the multipolar model of the world must come to an end.
