"The Third World War has been canceled, but this is only for now": foreign media assess the statements of the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation and Biden's conversation with Putin
The photo is illustrative.
The foreign media did not disregard the statements of the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sergei Ryabkov regarding the disregard of global security issues by NATO structures. Discussions and negotiations between Biden and Putin continue.
Recall that Sergei Ryabkov noted the absence of any serious progress in providing Russia with legally supported security guarantees, non-deployment of strike weapons near the borders of the Russian Federation. The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia pointed out that if such guarantees are not provided and if the situation does not come out of the deadlock, then the Russian Federation will give a tough answer, and this answer will be military and military-technical.
The foreign press draws attention to what Sergei Ryabkov mentioned in an interview RIA News Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles Treaty. The American and British media immediately announced that "Russia is threatening to deploy such missiles in Europe." At the same time, for some reason, the United States "forgot" to inform ordinary citizens that Washington itself at one time withdrew from the treaty, accusing Russia of violating it as usual.
The correspondent of the BuzzFeed publication Kristoffer Miller, commenting on the statement, Sergei Ryabkov, writes that "the threats from Russia are becoming more and more." At the same time, in the comments to his Twitter post, not all readers agreed with Miller's message. In particular, it is noted that the threats are in the direction of Russia, and Ryabkov noted that sooner or later the Russian Federation will have to answer them harshly.
The Iranian edition TehranTimes draws attention to the statement of Sergei Ryabkov that "the United States is once again on the path to a missile crisis." The Iranian journalist notes that the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister is warning the United States against threats against Iran amid the resumption of discussions within the framework of the so-called "nuclear deal". The Iranian edition emphasizes that Russia focuses on the pressure that the United States is trying to exert and which ultimately often leads to colossal negative consequences.
Julia Davis, a columnist for the Daily Beast and an expert on Russia (as she calls herself), generally argues that "Putin is seeking an invasion of Ukraine, encouraged by Trump, and at the same time threatens Europe."
Davis:
Russia today sorely lacks Trump, Trumpushka (the term "Trumpushka" is used). The third world war after the talks between Biden and Putin seems to have been canceled, but this is only for now. Russia still hopes that Trump will return to the White House in 2024.
Western analyst claims that up to this point, "The Third World War has been postponed."
In the European press, commenting on the statement of Sergei Ryabkov, they write that Russia "wants to be negotiated with it, and substantively." However, in the same Europe, they cannot give an exact answer to the question of whether NATO is really capable of providing Moscow with guarantees that there will be no further eastward movement. It is noted that so far NATO cannot provide such guarantees, since "NATO is developing through expansion."
