Ambassador Arjan-International Group: Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, discussed the international developments and Moscow's positions towards the West in her press conference. Referring to the expansion of the list of anti-Russian sanctions of the European Union and the addition of hundreds of Russian individuals and organizations to this list, he emphasized that the application of extensive restrictions against natural and legal persons is once again a clear evidence of the structural weakness of Brussels. Because they no longer have any other effective means to pressure Russia.
Referring to the signals sent by Brussels, Zakharova also evaluated the resumption of full cooperation in the field of energy between Moscow and the European Union as very unlikely in the current situation. In another part of his speech, he considered the approach of Western countries and radical liberal regimes to be the reason for the prolongation of the crisis in Ukraine and the weakening of efforts to reach stable agreements, and added that these currents, with their militaristic rhetoric, ignore the danger of turning the crisis into a global confrontation.
The spokesperson of the Russian diplomatic service continued to point out the contradictions of the West in the field of human rights and, recalling the violence of the French police against the protesters, raised the question whether such officials with these repressive behaviors have the authority to preach to others or not.
In response to Al-Mayadeen network's question about developments in West Asia, Zakharova called the escalation of tensions in Yemen a real threat to the region's security. He considered the road map formed with the mediation of Oman as a suitable basis for resolving the crisis, called for an immediate ceasefire and comprehensive negotiations, and emphasized Moscow's support for the efforts of the UN special envoy.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia emphasized the alignment of the views of Tehran and Moscow and said that the comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between the two countries is the foundation of a new stage of cooperation to strengthen peace and security in the region.
