The confrontation between Russia and the West because of the Ukraine has a very fast negative influence on efforts to fight international crime, said Deputy head of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Oleg Syromolotov. "Unfortunately, affects, of course, negatively. Because of the "Ukrainian" differences of our Western partners has been frozen a number of formats counter-terrorism cooperation, e.g., the "group of eight" of the Council Russia-NATO, bilateral consultation mechanisms. To this list of " missed opportunities ", probably can be attributed to the present regular (twice a year) meeting on counter-terrorism with the European Union. Their next round is transferred "eshowcase" for more than a year under false pretenses, " said Syromolotov in interview to the newspaper. according to his statement, the fact that because of the fall in Ukraine, the West turned with Russia cooperation on anti-terrorism line, once again confirms the competence of some of the Western countries "to give up common goals for the sake of their geopolitical objectives, bringing to this area the policy of" double standards." sad, but to suffer from it in the future will be the citizens, whose anti-terrorism safety is sacrificed to the selfish and often misguided political aspirations, " added the Deputy head of the Russian diplomatic vedomctva. Answering the question about the possibility of rapprochement between the Russian capital and the capital of the United States against the threat from Islamist groups, Syromolotov noticed that the fight against international crime should only be carried out together, without politicization and double standards ". "the West - the US - it seems that this approach has problems. Because West line to the deposition of undesirable regimes in the middle East and North Africa led To the destruction of the security mechanisms of a number of countries in the region, the radicalization of the "Muslim street" and eventually uncontrolled rampant gangs, among them the Islamic state, he said. Deputy head of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation also said that anti-terrorist interaction is not limited to "Russian-Western" formats. "These issues are all vectors of Russian foreign policy, in the 1st turn in our relations with our close partners at the bilateral level and in international organizations - SCO, CSTO, and now, apparently, increasingly in the BRICS. Develop relationships on the subject of new challenges and threats, and with our more distant partners, to properly understand the unifying nature of the agenda of counter-terrorism cooperation ", - summed up the source.
