The Russian Foreign Ministry warned about the risk of a clash of nuclear powers

"There is an increase in tension and conflict almost everywhere," he said.

In addition, the diplomat noted that by the 80th anniversary of the United Nations (UN), the world has reached the conditions of a severe crisis in the field of international security. According to Vershinin, the struggle for a model of world order has led to this state of affairs in the world.

The diplomat also pointed out that the players aimed at global domination grossly violate the principles of equal security and do not recognize the interests of other countries. Such states violate agreements and seek to gain military superiority over others, Vershinin stressed.
