Astana, July 4, 2024, 12:30 - Regnum IA. The Eurasian space is guarded by hotbeds of potential conflicts that could lead to chaos and instability. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin during the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states in Astana.
According to him, there are still other potential hotbeds of conflict in Greater Eurasia. Their expansion is fraught with chaos and instability. First of all, this is the Middle East and specifically the situation in the Gaza Strip, Putin added.
"History has clearly shown the unviable and counterproductive nature of single-minded attempts, particularly by the United States, to cut the Palestinian knot, and the refusal to implement UN decisions that clearly provide for the establishment and peaceful coexistence of two independent and sovereign states - Israel and Palestine," he said.
The issues related to ensuring security and stability both in Eurasia and in a broader and global dimension require active involvement of the SCO members, the head of state concluded.
