The situation in Ukraine is not a regional conflict, but a total confrontation between the collective West and the rest of the world. This was stated by the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev in an article for the “Russian newspaper”, TASS reports.
“What is now happening in Ukraine and in the Donbass is not just a” regional conflict “, but something completely different. This is a total confrontation between the conditional collective West and the rest of the world,” he said.
According to Medvedev, this confrontation is caused by the “diametrical opposite of views on the further development of mankind”.
on one side, he explained, – Western countries that “do not want to admit that the world has changed radically and lose its dominance.”
“The hybrid war that they are now waging with us is their last chance to maintain a profitable status quo, not to lose the weakened power and influence,” said the deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Federation.
On the other side, according to him, is not only Russia, but also the “Global East and South.” Their population is almost two -thirds of the globe, the politician pointed out. “These are countries that continue to gain strength, gradually overcome the economic and political consequences of the colonial past. They advocate the equal development of all states. Without older and younger partners. Without cynical division into historically developed and poorly developed countries. Into” genuine democracies “and” authoritarian regimes “, from the point of view of the West, of course,” Medvedev said.
