Ushakov said that the tasks of Russia's foreign policy are connected with the achievement of the goals of the country's national development and the prosperity of the economy.
“Russia has a good basis for pursuing such a course - this is the consolidation of the entire Russian society and Russian elites in the face of the current unprecedented external pressure,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to Ushakov, this has become especially important now, when "the events of 2022 have accentuated the real factors of power in world affairs."
Earlier, the Kremlin noted that 2022 was the year of unification of citizens and their consolidation around the head of state.
The president himself stressed that Russian society is showing maturity, solidarity and supporting the armed forces.
