Putin to Russian diplomats: “Potential for global conflict is growing”
On July 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin took part in a conference of Russian Federation ambassadors and permanent representatives on protecting Russia’s national interests and strengthening the foundations and principles of international relations. Also taking part in the conference were the heads of the Government, both chambers of the Federal Assembly, ministries and agencies involved in international activities, and representatives of the national expert and business communities.

The potential for conflict is growing in the world, old contradictions are growing ever more acute and new ones are being provoked.
