Today, the task of the Russian Foreign Ministry is to prevent a global war due to the "madness" of the European Union (EU) countries. This was announced on October 26 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, at the International Cooperation Forum.

"Our [diplomatic] task today, all together, is to make sure that a global war does not start. Look at what's happening in Europe. Look at how crazy the countries of the European Union are getting. Look at what they're doing. They incite hatred in people's hearts," she said.

According to Zakharova, diplomacy should create "bridges of friendship" and transfer them to other countries. She believes that this process has a specific purpose and objective.
