Russia accuses West of provoking global conflicts

Russia's Security Council has issued a statement accusing Western nations of provoking new military conflicts around the world, including around Russia. The council claims European NATO members are systematically militarizing and that the West has effectively dismantled the global security architecture. It further warned that the continuation of Western neocolonial policy will lead to energy shortages, unemployment, and famine. This rhetoric aligns with longstanding Kremlin narratives framing Western actions as the primary source of global instability.
