Key talking points:
🔹 What is happening in Ukraine now is the result of preparations by the US and its satellites for the start of a global hybrid war against Russia.
🔹 The events surrounding Ukraine have brought to light the implicit push by the United States to drop attempts to reinforce its global position with legitimate means and to adopt illegitimate methods to ensure its dominance.
🔹 The European Union has been completely subsumed by this US dictatorship. The signing of the Joint Declaration on EU-NATO Cooperation on January 10 was the high point of this process.
🔹 The West's course on destroying traditional ties between historical partners in different regions and fragmenting and destabilising them has become more salient. We can see this in the Balkans and in the post-Soviet space.
🔹 They used the “either with the West or Russia” choice to identify those who were against the West and proceeded to severely punish them.
🔹 In the so-called “Indo-Pacific region,” the West is out to create bloc architecture against Russia and China. With this aim in view, they have consistently been destroying the decades-old mechanisms and formats of cooperation created around ASEAN.
🔹We regard the policies of the US and the West as a whole as the main problem creating difficulties in all areas. ashington’s policy of dictate in international affairs means precisely that the Americans can do anything anywhere they want.
🔹 In our contacts through the SCO, BRICS, the CIS, and the EAEU, and in our cooperation with associations of Asia, Africa and Latin America, we are doing all we can to create new forms of interaction to avoid dependence on the West & its neocolonialist methods.
🔹 It will take a long time to create a multipolar world order. This will take an entire historical era. We are now in the midst of this process.
