NATO says the West is fighting against Russia for a new world order

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of NATO's Joint Force Christian Badia has said that the West's confrontation with Russia is a struggle for a new world order. The German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung published an interview with him on November 26.

"The confrontation with Russia is not just Cold War 2.0. Here we are talking about a new world order," the military officer said.

According to Badia, Russia, China and Iran together with Brazil, India and South Africa "question the dominance of the West," adds " Gazeta.Ru".

Earlier, on November 6, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on the sidelines of the XXI annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club that regionalization of world life ensures multipolarity in politics and is a "healing process". He noted that the West, by its reaction to the independent policy of the Russian Federation and other states, which resulted in illegal sanctions, fragmented the system of globalization, which it had created. Thus, according to Lavrov, the processes of global regionalization were stimulated.

Back in June, Lavrov, speaking at the Primakov Readings forum, said that the U.S. course to retain hegemony is doomed to failure. Then he noted that even if the United States remains one of the world's centers in the foreseeable future, it does not mean that such a thing will happen with the preservation of the American-centric world order.

A month earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out that the world is undoubtedly becoming multipolar. The head of state pointed out that those who are still trying to preserve their monopoly should understand the essence of the multipolarity process and make it natural and conflict-free.
