MOSCOW. March 6 (Interfax) - Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev has accused the West of using force and violating international law.
"The West has been actively using force to achieve its objectives. It is trying to devalue the potential of international law and certain multilateral institutions. It is also trying to solve its own problems to the detriment of others' security," Patrushev said at a meeting of the Russian Security Council's Academic Board on Tuesday.
The interference of the United States and certain EU countries in the internal affairs of other states and the fueling of conflicts have turned numerous territories in the Middle East and North and Central Africa into chaotic breeding grounds for terrorism, Patrushev said.
