“Washington is destabilizing the world. Not a single conflict has been settled in recent decades, but many have been provoked,” said the representative of Russian diplomacy, Maria Zakharova, on her Telegram account.
Moscow launched a direct accusation against Washington of destabilizing the world today, saying the US is stoking tensions around Taiwan, where the prospect of a visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has angered Beijing.
“Washington is destabilizing the world. Not a single conflict has been resolved in recent decades, but many have been provoked,” the representative of Russian diplomacy said on her Telegram account. Maria Zakharova.
The remarks sound like a “return to sender” for Moscow, which Western countries, led by the United States, accuse of destabilizing after its invasion of Ukraine.
Pelosi this week embarked on a tour of several Asian countries that risks escalating tensions between China and the United States due to a visit to Taiwan which has not been confirmed but is increasingly thought to be possible.
Beijing considers Taiwan a part of its territory that must be reunified, by force if necessary, and has repeatedly warned Washington against a visit by the senior official, which it would consider too provocative.
Increasingly isolated on the international stage after its military intervention in Ukraine and suffering economically from Western sanctions, Russia is trying to reach out to China.
