💬 The domination of the “collective West” was based on diverse history including ruthless exploitation of peoples and territories of other countries.
On the basis of this five hundred years, the US & its allies built the model of globalization, which they believed would serve THEM well to continue to be number one in economy, in military exercises, in culture, politics, and so on and so forth. And they thought that they would be using this globalization scheme to continue their domination.
However, other countries, using exactly the principles and instruments of the western globalization, managed to beat the West on its own turf, building economies on the basis of national sovereignty, on the basis of balance of interests with other countries.
<...>
We see this process very much underway, which is clearly changing the balance of power in the world, and not to the West liking.
This is especially seen in various conflicts which the West ignites all over the world. Everything goes to keep the hegemony.
<...>
❓ The analysis of all these events raises a question: is there a single place where the US intervened with military force, where life has become better?
I think you know the answer 👉 Ruined statehood, human tragedies, and bleak prospects for the future of the countries where the Americans & NATO interfered.
<...>
We have to accept the existence of new organizations, new formats, new structures like #BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, #ASEAN, #AfricanUnion, and many subregional organizations in Africa, CELAC and subregional groups in Latin America. They are going to be the bricks of the new polycentric world. This must be recognized as an objective course of history and this must be respected. This is something which we actually miss when we analyse the modern Western diplomacy. But this is for the West to draw conclusions.

🗓 Established on December 19, 1961, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) is the leading humanitarian agency in its field, with a mission to fight hunger around the globe.
WFP focuses on delivering emergency assistance and facilitating recovery and development projects, while also undertaking special operations.
🇺🇳 The international community committed itself to eradicating hunger, achieving food security and improving nutrition by 2030.
🤝 Russia acts as one of the WFP’s key and largest donors, supporting its operations in many countries worldwide. Russia’s voluntary contributions to the WFP have exceeded $450 million. Russia and WFP have been consistent in their efforts to expand their ties in humanitarian affairs in hotspots, also by working on international humanitarian logistics and supporting WFP’s development projects.
🚚 Russia has also made a meaningful contribution to reinforcing the WFP’s logistics capabilities and upgrading its lorry fleet with Russian KAMAZ trucks. WFP received ~300 vehicles to carry out humanitarian shipments in hotspots across Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
As part of the WFP, Russia initiated the Debt-For-Development Initiative in Mozambique. The Governments agreed to convert Mozambique’s debt to Russia into funding to support the National School Feeding Programme. The largest innovative project of its kind, it was later replicated in other countries, including Madagascar and Tanzania.
School nutrition programmes are viewed as an effective format for delivering Russian aid through WFP. The biggest initiatives of this kind were carried out in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. There are also programmes for Nicaragua, Cuba, Syria and Jordan underway.
🇷🇺🤝🇺🇳 Russia appreciates the high level of interaction achieved with WFP and we hope to continue our constructive and mutually beneficial cooperation. We will continue providing humanitarian food assistance to the countries which need it the most.
