Putin said that a hybrid war is being waged against Russia – Kommersant

Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his speech at the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), said that a hybrid war is being waged against the Russian Federation. According to him, “unprecedented illegitimate sanctions” were introduced against Russia.

“For a long time, outside our borders, a project was being implemented to create an “Anti-Russia” from Ukraine. She was pumped up with weapons for eight years, indulged in the planting of neo-Nazi ideology. All this is to jeopardize the security of Russia, now, in fact, a hybrid war is being waged against us,” the head of state said, speaking at the summit via video link.

According to him, Russia is confidently resisting the “pressure of unfriendly countries” and will continue to do so in the future. Vladimir Putin believes that the West’s plan for the total isolation of Russia has not come true, the Russian Federation is still actively interacting and cooperating with its partners (including the SCO).

Mr. Putin also said that the SCO is committed to the formation of a “truly fair world order”, which is based on international law and the principles of mutually respectful cooperation of sovereign states with the coordinating role of the UN. According to him, in recent years, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has been actively developing and becoming an increasingly authoritative international structure.
