Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Archival photoMOSCOW, Jan 28—RIA Novosti.The growth of tension in international relations during the pandemic is explained by the ambitions of individuals and the aspirations of individual countries, but it is necessary to negotiate, said Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev in an interview with RIA Novosti and other leading Russian media.
"The explanation lies primarily in the ambition and character of individuals and in the aspirations of individual countries, if we talk about international relations and international tensions", he said.
Medvedev noted that it is necessary to agree on internal Russian issues. “As for how we should live in these new conditions, we need to live in harmony, try to come to an agreement, to agree on a variety of issues. This not only applies to international relations, this also applies, for example, to internal issues: the development of the country, and the development of the economy, and even the very same vaccination.There are great discussions about this, but I still hope that a significant part of people in our country come to the conclusion that vaccination is necessary, even in the face of the emergence of new strains and all sorts of other problems,” he said.Yesterday, 12:53 In the world, Medvedev explained why the United States would interfere with Nord Stream 2. Medvedev also spoke about what lessons he had learned from the pandemic. First of all, according to him, it is helping others. «I, like any other person and citizen of our country, I just live to a certain extent in other conditions, in a different world, and this is felt almost every day. As for personal lessons, what special words can there be?Personal lessons are that you need to help each other, you need to try and advice, and if possible in other ways to help loved ones, help other people, develop the same forms of volunteer assistance that I mentioned All this was not quite recently, and it seemed that it was somewhere in a completely different world, but in fact it turned out to be in demand and relevant.So, probably, for me, these lessons are absolutely the same as for the vast majority citizens in our country,» he explained. Medvedev added that you will have to adapt to this world, you need to survive in this world and try to do everything for Russia to develop: people live better, incomes become higher, medical assistance It was of high quality. In addition, he expressed the hope that in 2022 it would be possible to achieve an easing of international tension. «I would like to know what I would like this year? Firstly, so that we, through our common work, helping each other, still cope, if not completely, then to a large extent with the pandemic, so that there are fewer sick people and, unfortunately, those who have died. I would like this first of all, this is the most important thing. I would like to see, to a certain extent… international tension eased, because it really goes off scale, it hinders everyone – it hinders our country and hinders international development. It is really very important that strategic agreements be reached, including on security guarantees, this is also very important,» the Deputy Permanent Representative of the Security Council concluded. >Medvedev answered the question about reducing tensions around Ukraine
