Geopolitical processes becoming increasingly turbulent — Putin

Geopolitical processes are becoming increasingly turbulent in the world despite some positive signals, and the erosion of international law continues, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a video address to participants in the Moscow Conference on International Security posted on the Kremlin’s website on Wednesday.

"Unfortunately, geopolitical processes are becoming increasingly turbulent despite isolated positive signals. The erosion of international law continues as well. The attempts to use force to push through one’s own interests and to strengthen one’s own security at the expense of the security of others continue unabated," the Russian leader stated.

The solution of the most important issues of today’s military and political agenda, and the productive search for effective joint responses to common challenges are crucial for "strengthening security on the planet and the sustainable development," Putin said.
