Russia Called Itself ‘Original Country-Civilization’

The aggressor country puffs up to be great.

On March 31, the Kremlin published a “new concept of Russia's foreign policy”. The document says that Russia “has self-determined as an original country-civilization, a vast Eurasian and Euro-Pacific power, a stronghold of the “Russian world”, one of the sovereign centers of world development,” writes RBC.

Russia's attitude towards other states and interstate associations is determined by the constructive, neutral or unfriendly nature of their policy towards the Russian Federation.

The document signed by Putin on March 31 states that “Russia considers the U.S. course as the main source of anti-Russian policy and risks for its security, international peace, and the balanced and fair development of mankind”.

On March 17, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
