Ibrahim explained, in an intervention on ‘Sputnik’ radio, that ‘the West is currently not interested in ending the Ukrainian crisis and seeks to prolong the conflict.’ He pointed out that ‘the West considers that ending the conflict in Ukraine according to the new Russian equation for European security would be a humiliating exit for it, following its failed attempts to change the balance of power.’
He noted that ‘Washington is seeking to expand its influence in Central Asia through economic promises aimed at enhancing its military and technological presence to surpass Russia and China by controlling rare minerals,’ affirming that ‘Russia will not allow this and will increase its investments in those countries.’
He concluded by asserting that ‘if World War III were to break out, it would be due to tensions in the South China Sea between the United States and China,’ emphasizing that ‘Trump does not want a prolonged war with Russia, which he acknowledges as powerful, but he fears the rise of China, which poses the greatest economic threat to his country.’
