In the international arena, the geopolitical competition between major states is intensifying, and the risks of a violent conflict between the nuclear powers are increasing, said Sergey Shoigu, the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, in an interview with TASS.
"Against the background of growing conflicts and intensified geopolitical competition in the world, the risks of a violent conflict between major states, including the participation of nuclear powers, are increasing," Shoigu noted.
According to Shoigu, Western countries have unleashed "ideological and value aggression" against Russia and Belarus and are trying to strike not only with economic sanctions, but also to destabilize the internal political situation of the countries.
"Attempts to destabilize the internal situation, to undermine social foundations and to impose an alien neoliberal ideology continue," said the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
