other, those who are competitors, say, joseph biden and donald trump, they recognize that the asia-pacificion has become a major center world confrontation. russia's war against ukraine is, by and large, a peripheral conflict for the united states, for other western countries, but what is happening in the pacific ocean is really serious, and that is why, by the way, many people... would like as soon as possible put a full stop in the russian-ukrainian war, and donald trump talked about it, by the way, to focus on this main danger, and of course it would be necessary to talk about it all out loud, because nato is not just a defense alliance for europe, it is an alliance to which includes the countries of north america and the united states of their point of view, one can say, looks at the pacific ocean and concludes. own military alliances with countries such as australia, such as new zealand, are trying to find their partners among other countries of the pacific basin, and here is what in this background means ukraine, as far as ukraine can be in the center of attention in principle. we wi

if during the meeting russia asia still paid attention to the development of the asia-pacific region, then, for example, at the meeting of representatives of asia with representatives of the european union, they talked about the anti-russian agenda, which, as we understand. the basic principles of international law and the un charter are at stake in ukraine in other parts of the world, but understand me, the ukrainian struggle is crucial for us. i know it's russian aggression against ukraine may seem far from asean, but the consequences of this conflict, be it inflation or rising food and oil prices, are also felt by our population, even if russia is making every effort to spread. misinformation. asian countries, in turn, are concerned about the west’s attempts to militarize the region, and of course, they are interested in maintaining stability in the asia-pacific region and russia is considered in this matter as one of the important partners, as stated by the minister foreign affairs of china, mr. wang yi, in the format of the osian-china meeting. hegemony, unilateralism and protect
