Russia is trying to build Eurasian security and destroy the world order

The Russian Federation is trying to build a Eurasian security architecture and use it to destroy the current world order.

This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

It is noted that on Monday, 9 September, in Saudi Arabia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov took part in a joint ministerial meeting of the Strategic Dialogue between Russia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

On the sidelines of the Russia-GCC Strategic Dialogue, Lavrov held talks with Secretary General of the Council Jassim Mohammed Al-Budawi, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman.

During the meetings, the Russian foreign minister stressed Russia's interest in expanding cooperation with the Gulf states. Lavrov and Saudi officials discussed strengthening trade, cultural ties and bilateral investment. The Russian minister also invited Saudi Prime Minister bin Salman to the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, to be held in October 2024.

The report recalled Lavrov's July statement that Russia and China, within the framework of the GCC, are in favour of creating a Eurasian security architecture. The Institute's analysts suggested that the Russian minister used his meetings with the leaders of the Gulf states to promote this agenda.

The analysts do not rule out that Lavrov's visit is part of the Kremlin's efforts to promote the creation of its planned ‘Eurasian security architecture’.

‘ISW has previously assessed that the proposal for a Eurasian security architecture is in line with Russia's long-term strategic goal of disintegrating Western unity, dissolving NATO from within, and destroying the current world order,’ the report says.
