Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the new concept of Russian foreign policy during his meeting with the permanent members of the Russian Security Council on Friday. He stated that international developments require Russia to adjust its foreign policy.
He said: The radical changes in international life have required us to seriously amend the main strategic planning documents, including the concept of Russia's foreign policy, which defines the principles, tasks and priorities of diplomatic activity, according to Russia Today.
For his part, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Moscow seeks to build a new world order that will be the basis for international relations. He added that the use of force against those who threaten Russia will be our new doctrine.
He pointed out that the new concept of Russian foreign policy provides the possibility of introducing similar or asymmetric response measures, as the United States is called, in the new concept, the initiator and the main leader of the anti-Russian line in the world.
Lavrov said: In light of the conditions of external threats, the new concept of Russian foreign policy confirms that the principle of security linkage is available on the basis of equality. The new concept also speaks of a serious restructuring of the global economy. He stressed that the new concept of Russian foreign policy logically reflects the revolutionary developments in international affairs.
The Kremlin has warned that the European Union's consideration of sending peacekeepers to Ukraine is a very dangerous issue. He added in a statement that the continuation of the military operation in Ukraine is the only way to achieve Moscow's goals now.
The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, confirmed that the European Union countries are close to discussing the issue that they were avoiding in the past, which is to send peacekeeping forces to Ukraine. He added in a statement that the members are close to the fact that in the talks of European leaders it has become legitimate to discuss the issue of whether EU member states can send troops in the form of peacekeepers to Ukraine or it is better not to send them.
