West seeks to divide Russia because it represents a different civilization - Serbian diplomat
Western attempts to weaken Russia go beyond its natural resources and reflect a deeper clash of values, Serbian diplomat Vladimir Krsljanin told Sputnik, commenting on President Vladimir Putin's remarks about foreign efforts to divide Russia and eliminate it as a geopolitical competitor.
Krsljanin described the Western approach as "divide and rule," arguing that pitting nations against one another has long been central to Western strategy.
"It's not that Russia has a lot of oil, gas, and minerals. The reason is that Orthodox Russia is the guardian of a humane system," he said.
He contrasted this approach with Russia's tradition of preserving the identities and cultures of its many peoples.
"Not a single people was deprived of its rights, not a single culture was destroyed," Krsljanin stressed, highlighting Russia's respect for its ethnic diversity.
