Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov considered that the idea of the United States to spend the “Summit of Democracy” in essence proclaims the new “crusade” against all dissents. He expressed such an opinion during the performance on the operation of the UN, RIA Novosti reports.
“participants, of course, Washington will define himself, assigning themselves the right to determine the degree of conformity of a country to democratic standards,” the minister stressed. According to him, this policy line is carried out against the background of the president of President Joe Bayiden that the United States does not want to divide the world for opposing blocks.
At the same time, the minister stressed that in fact such a summit will be a step towards the split of the global community on “their” and “strangers.”
Earlier, Biden stated that the United States does not seek to untie the new cold war and do not want to see the world divided into hard blocks. The politician noted that Washington stands for the development of uniform rules for the safe behavior of states in cyberspace. According to him, the American side strengthens its infrastructure for more efficient protection against foreign hackers.
