... level of practice.
The idea of Eurasian security inevitably raises questions about other related projects. Sergey Lavrov, during his visit to Beijing, directly linked the need for a new structure with the problems of Euro-Atlantic security built around
NATO and the OSCE.
References to the Euro-Atlantic experience seem important for two reasons. First, the Euro-Atlantic project is distinguished by its high level of institutional integration. In fact, it is built on the basis of a military alliance (NATO) ...
... withdrawal, over reliance on the Russian bogeyman, and Washington’s tilt to Asia make for shaky foundations
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is celebrating its 75th anniversary – the founding documents were signed in Washington this week in 1949. NATO is so firmly embedded in the international landscape that even its decisive transformation at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s did not shake its position.

... itself and its place in the world
When President Vladimir Putin, back in February 2022, launched Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, he had specific, but limited objectives in mind. It was essentially about assuring Russia’s security vis-à-vis NATO.
However, the drastic, expansive and well-coordinated Western reaction to Moscow’s moves – the torpedoing of the Russo-Ukrainian peace deal and the mounting escalation of the US-led bloc's involvement in the conflict, including its role in deadly ...
... in August 2008, that a precedent was set for revising the Belavezha accords, whereby the borders between the newly emerged post-Soviet sovereign entities were based on the dividing lines between the former Soviet republics. In essence, the process of NATO expansion was halted in this region because of the emergence of new post-Soviet states. Although, as the recent
visit
of Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to Baku, Tbilisi and Yerevan showed, the movement in this direction has not stopped....
... highlighted the recent warnings by the GUR chief, Kirill Budanov, and outgoing US Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland about
“unpleasant surprises”
awaiting Russia in the near future.
As a result, Russia’s own warnings about striking airfields in NATO countries if they are used by the Ukrainian Air Force, and about wiping out French (or any other NATO) troop contingents if they are sent into Ukraine, are acquiring more credibility. Escalation of the conflict, which heretofore has mostly been driven ...
This month, the whole world remembers the unprovoked attack which the United States and Western European countries launched against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia for international politics was that it was a collective attack, perpetrated by a large group of Western countries, against a sovereign state, and marked the watershed between a time when a peaceful world order could ...
... as victors in the last World War and all, without exception, possess military resources that are unattainably superior to those of other members of the international community. What can we say about such strong and “established” institutions as NATO, the G7 or the European Union? In the first case, we see a real unification of military capabilities, in the second - economic power.
BRICS is not based on the balance of power of the main participants, as was the case with the most successful alliances ...
Interview with Andrey Kortunov and Zhao Huasheng
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine drags on. In response to France’s President Emmanuel Macron floating the idea of sending NATO troops to Ukraine, there has been a storm of indignation and a wave of disavowals of his divisive statement coming from other nations in the West. Many politicians and academics are concerned that the adversarial relations between Russia and the ...
... South, which the neocolonizers are trying to delude and cynically use as mute observers.
Instead of hearing and understanding Russia's key demands - the denazification and demilitarization of Ukrainian thugs as well as rejection of Russophobia and NATO plans of Kiev - Washington and its satellites are only making things worse. They funnel weapons to their puppets, calling this “good investment”. They turn a blind eye to blatant crimes of their “clients”, who use lethal equipment to commit ...
