Serious people in the West, including the military establishment, have heard the Moscow declaration on the prevention of nuclear war, although the information war against Russia on this issue will continue. This opinion was expressed today, November 6, by Vladimir Orlov, professor at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, founder and director of the PIR Center.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a declaration on the prevention of nuclear war, calling on the countries of the “nuclear five” to show willingness to abandon attempts to violate each other’s vital interests by encouraging provocations with weapons of mass destruction. .
“This, of course, has been a clarification in many respects for our international partners and for our international opponents. And on the question of whether they will listen to the statements in the West, perhaps I will surprise you and say that it seems to me that they will listen “, Orlov commented the Russian department’s statement to RIA Novosti.
He did not exclude that at the level of public rhetoric, newspaper articles, speeches by press secretaries, will continue to blame Russia, because in addition to the worsening of the international situation, “a completely clear information war is underway”.
According to him, disinformation about Russia is the most powerful and the nuclear issue is very interesting for the average person.
“It is very convenient to combine the word” Russia “, the word” nuclear “and even more so to try to put Russia in an unpleasant light, He observed Orlov.
“But there are serious people here in the West and in the military establishment and heads of diplomatic departments – I think they have already paid attention to the intelligibility of this statement, to its unambiguousness, even if they will not say it. I think they understand that now the ball. is on their side “, concluded the expert.
