Isolation of the West
In July, the French newspaper Le Monde suggested the opposite. According to the author of the article, Marco Semo, the organization of the anti-Russian campaign of Western countries to isolate Russia has led to their loneliness in the international arena.
Semo stressed that the purpose of Western economic sanctions was to turn Russia into a rogue state. However, not all countries were ready to openly oppose the actions of the Russian authorities.
From Africa to Asia through Latin America, the camp of countries that do not want to choose between Westerners and Russia is expanding
Following the African Union, the states of Latin America and Asia refused to join the anti-Russian campaign, since the imposition of sanctions on their part will lead not only to internal economic problems, but also to a predicament with food security. The journalist is sure that the unanimity of the Western countries towards Russia has led to their loneliness on the world stage, which will only increase with time.
Restoring Relationships
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced losses during the special operation at the end of March (1351 dead, 3825 wounded). The Armed Forces of Ukraine daily lose about 30 people killed and about 250 wounded, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said
In May, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Russian Federation, if the West wants to offer something in terms of restoring relations, will seriously consider whether it needs it.
The Russian minister also assessed that Moscow intends to rely only on itself and the states that pursue an independent policy and have proven their reliability. According to him, the probability of restoring the dialogue depends entirely on the opposite side.
The minister believes that the results of Russia’s special operation in Ukraine will force the countries of the collective West to abandon the idea of a unipolar world.
When they get over their “frenzy” and decide that there is Russia, it has not gone away and, I am convinced, is becoming stronger every year. If they want to offer something in terms of resuming relations, then we will seriously consider whether we will need it or not.
special operation
Russia has been conducting a special operation in Ukraine since February 24. It was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The head of state referred to requests for military assistance from the heads of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DNR and LNR).
