OREANDA-NEWS. The member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Aleksey Pushkov commented on a statement by US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper about attempts by Russia and China to change the current international order.

A day before, the head of the Pentagon accused Moscow and Beijing of revisionism. According to him, Russia violates the sovereignty of neighboring states for getting strategic benefits and conducts cyber operations, and China pursue “predatory policy” in the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative.

“US Secretary of Defense Esper accused Russia of trying to rework the “international order.” He is the man who held his post when the United States occupied Iraq, bombed Libya, attacked Yugoslavia, tried to strangle Venezuela with sanctions and now is introducing the fist law instead of the UN Charter,” Pushkov wrote on his Twitter page. “American world” has become obsolete,” he concluded.
