The press secretary of the leader of Russia, Dmitry Peskov, stated that the norms and principles of international law are effectively no longer in effect, all because of the war with Iran, according to a report in Russian media.
In a comment to Russian propagandist Pavel Zarubin, published on Telegram, Peskov noted that "we have all, in a sense, lost what we call international law. Honestly, right now, I don't even understand how to call on anyone to comply with the norms and principles of international law. It effectively no longer exists. De jure, it is there, but de facto, it is gone. And what kind of law has taken the place of international law — it's unlikely anyone can formulate that now."
Destabilization in the Middle East
The Kremlin press secretary attributed this to the significant destabilization of the region caused by the cumulative effect of numerous conflicts and unresolved problems, which are resulting in economic and political consequences.
According to him, the current situation is creating a "perfect storm" in which it is necessary to concentrate on one's own interests.
Focus on Russia's national interests
Peskov emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin is right to focus on national interests.
"Against the backdrop of this perfect storm that has now begun, we need to focus on ourselves, on our interests, on our potential. Where it is lacking, it needs to be built up. And we need to think clearly with our heads and stay focused," he added.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran officially confirms its close partnership with Russia and rules out the possibility of concluding a truce with Israel.
Russian units continue to recruit Russian citizens, promising large payments and service in Africa, but in reality, the recruits are sent to the front in Ukraine, despite the promises made to them.
