RUSSIAN Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said today the United States is fuelling geopolitical tensions to uphold its “hegemony” and warned of the risk of confrontation between major countries.
Speaking at a defence forum in Beijing, Mr Shoigu also said that the US and its Asia-Pacific allies are undermining stability in the region.
“To maintain its geopolitical and strategic dominance, the United States is deliberately undermining the basis of international security and strategic stability,” Mr Shoigu said at the Xiangshan Forum, China’s biggest annual event centred on military diplomacy.
