Damascus - Sana
The Special Adviser to the Presidency of the Republic, Dr. Buthaina Shaaban, affirmed that the Russian special operation in Donbas is a necessary step to preserve Russia's national security and interests, and heralds the rise of two main poles in the international resolution, namely Russia and China, and the consolidation of the new world order.
Shaaban explained in an interview with the Syrian Al-Ekhbariya channel today that the West did not leave Russia with another option in Ukraine after it evaded its pledges not to expand NATO to the east, noting that Russia's loss would be much greater if it did not take this step and start its own military operation in Donbas.
Shaaban indicated that the current crisis is related to the accumulation of the Russian-Western relationship that dates back to decades when US President George W. Bush and his Secretary of State James Baker led negotiations with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev over the entry of a united Germany into NATO, where Russia agreed to that on the condition that NATO did not move an inch in the direction of The East and the number of members not to exceed 12 countries, while today it is 30 countries.
Shaaban pointed out that Syria lived the same experience with the West and its hypocrisy. When Henry Kissinger visited Syria in 1974 and spoke about the necessity of starting a peace process, Syria agreed to that and agreed to UN Resolution 242 and entered into a peace process from 1990 to 2000. At every stage, the West did not fulfill its promises nor did the West fulfill its promises. He believes what he says.
Shaaban pointed out that the Palestinian issue also reflects the West's lack of commitment to any resolution or promise. Resolutions issued by the United Nations did not dissuade the United States from supporting the occupation entity at the expense of the Palestinian people.
Shaaban explained that the West, which imposed unilateral coercive measures on the Syrian people, is doing so with Russia, and from here the common understanding of Syria and Russia towards international issues and Western positions on them. western on it.
Shaaban said: In light of the misleading and intense Western media influx, it is necessary to stand on the facts and realize that Ukraine, which is adjacent to Russia, is a historical, strategic and vital partner. This Russian decision to avoid a greater loss.
Shaaban added that the West does not apply to itself what it wants to apply to others because of its superiority towards other peoples. For example, does the United States accept the entry of Mexico through a military alliance with Russia and the deployment of nuclear weapons on its lands?
Shaaban stressed that the Western media pumping against Russia, which aims to intimidate, intimidate and blackmail, reminds of the media pumping against Syria since 2011, through the fabrication of videos and the dissemination of lies.
Shaaban indicated that all the sanctions adopted by the United States against countries, including Russia and Syria, are outside international law, and therefore Western countries' talk of violating international law by Russia is unacceptable.
Shaaban said that we in Syria are on the right side of history and within the right alliance. The Syrian-Russian relationship is solid and historical and is strengthening today. We hope that what we are witnessing today will mark a global transformation for the benefit of peoples and the end of the last stage of the colonial mentality, and that humanity will realize the urgent need for a new world order that respects the sovereignty of states and relations. between them.
