Patrushev said the Munich conference demonstrates the West's growing divisions
The agenda related to the support for Ukraine, which was promoted at the Munich Security Conference, has shown that there is a split among representatives of Western countries, which is growing. This was stated by Nikolai Patrushev, Russian presidential aide and chairman of the Russian Maritime Board, in an interview with aif.ru on February 17.
"The anti-Russian and pro-Ukrainian agenda promoted in Munich demonstrated the growing split in the camp of Westerners," Patrushev said.
He noted that security in the direct sense was not discussed at the conference. The event again became the mouthpiece of the collective West, which does not recognize sovereignty and a multipolar world order. Representatives of Western countries tried to preach Russophobia to independent states that are Russia's partners in BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), but to no avail.
The presidential aide suggested that in the not-too-distant future, Western countries will divide into three types. The first will be on the side of Kiev's neo-Nazism and will help it as much as possible, the second will adopt neutrality, and the third will form an alliance to fight neo-Nazism and militaristic ideology.
Earlier in the day, German Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck said that the administration of US President Donald Trump has launched a frontal attack on the values of Western society - liberal democracy, the rule of law and rule-based order. According to the minister, the very foundation on which U.S.-European relations were built is being destroyed.
On the same day, the French newspaper Le Monde reported that a number of European leaders gathered in Paris at the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron because of the US position on the peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian conflict.
Trump's special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg said on February 15 on the sidelines of the Munich conference that Europe would probably not be at the table for peace talks on Ukraine because Washington would not want too many participants in those discussions.
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance spoke at the Munich conference on February 14, saying that the current crisis in Europe was created by the EU leadership. The politician named the most critical problem as mass migration, which European citizens did not vote for. Vance added that if the authorities run away from their voters, the U.S. will not be able to help the EU in any way.
