The situation in the Middle East harms the security of Eurasia - Russian Security Council

This will disrupt established global supply chains, said Alexey Shutsov

Moscow, October 16. /TASS/. Alexey Shutsov, Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council, said in a conference with the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization regarding security issues in Central Asia and Afghanistan: the situation in the Middle East has an adverse effect on the security of the Eurasian region and disrupts the existing global logistics chains.

He said: "The situation in the Middle East not only has a negative impact on the security environment in the entire Eurasian region, but also disrupts established global logistics chains and undermines food and energy security."

The deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council emphasized: Russia and the countries of Central Asia are resisting the current resource crisis without significant economic losses precisely thanks to close cooperation relations.
