Last week’s Munich Security Conference revealed a split among Western powers, said Nikolay Patrushev, Russian presidential aide and permanent member of the Security Council, in an interview with Argumenty i Fakty on February 17.
n presidential assistant Patrushev, the forum held from February 14 to 16 demonstrated disagreements among the participants. He noted, “It is obvious that in the foreseeable future one group of countries will solidarize with Kiev’s neo-Nazism and help Kiev to the point of exhaustion, another group will take neutrality, and the third group will create a coalition to fight neo-Nazi and militaristic ideology.”
Patrushev added that the conference brought no tangible results on global security issues and became a continuation of the Western agenda that does not recognize multipolarity and the sovereignty of other countries. Another attempt to attract Russia’s BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organization partners to the anti-Russian and pro-Ukrainian agenda not only failed, but also aggravated “the split in the camp of Westerners,” he emphasized.
The Munich Security Conference could not do without resonant statements. In particular, everyone’s attention was attracted by the speech of US Vice President J.D. Vance, who said that the main threats to Europe come not from Russia or China, but from internal disagreements caused by the deviation from democratic principles.
The head of the conference, Christoph Heusgen, noted the sharp criticism of the European Union and Germany by the United States, calling the forum a “European nightmare.” He also emphasized that the conference was an important “clarification” of the American position on Europe and added that in the United States even Republicans feel fear of their president Donald Trump.
