“Germany and Europe can help defend a rules-based international order without succumbing to the fatalistic view that the world is destined to re-divide into rival blocs,” the German chancellor wrote.
He recalled that the history of Germany imposes "a special responsibility to fight fascism, authoritarianism and imperialism."
Earlier, Scholz said that Russia, having started the NWO in Ukraine, went on a “crusade” against liberal democracy and the rule-based order.
The Russian Foreign Ministry claims that Western representatives are promoting the neo-colonial concept of "order based on rules" to cover up their aggressive steps ideologically and politically.
In practice, the application of these "rules" undermines the fundamental principles of the UN Charter, Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed.
According to Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, the Western idea of "an order based on rules" should be rejected as untenable and harmful to humanity.
President Vladimir Putin also noted that some countries, in the interests of their dominance in the world, are seeking to replace the global architecture based on the role of the UN with some kind of "order based on rules."
Who came up with these rules is unclear, he said.
