For the Russian ambassador in Lisbon, democracy is not “infusing billions of euros into the neo-Nazi and corrupt regime in kyiv.” And he gives as an example the relations between Russia and China.

It is the celebration of the second “summit for democracy”, organized by the United States, which sets the tone for a reflection by the Russian ambassador in Lisbon on what this doctrine represents or does not represent. For Mikhail Kamynin, “true democracy in international relations manifests itself in mutual respect” and in the “search for consensus”. That is why he argues that democracy is not “an impetus to fill Ukraine’s black hole with increasingly deadly weapons to prolong the conflict and the suffering of civilian populations to achieve the cherished goal of ‘strategically defeating Russia.'”
In an opinion article published this Friday in Diário de Notícias, with the title “When ‘democracy’ becomes a sign of loyalty”, the ambassador writes that democracy is not “infusing the neo-Nazi and corrupt Kiev regime with thousands of million euros, while the needs of the citizens of Western states are not heard”, nor “saddle your modus vivendi to others through illegal sanctions that have nothing to do with the established norms in key United Nations documents or free market principles”.
Mikhail Kamynin believes that the United States divides the countries of the world into two groups: “democracies and non-democracies” or “good boys Is bad boys” — to delimit “its sphere of influence”. And he considers that, in this sense, the term democracy “loses its original meaning and serves a single objective”: “To define those who are loyal to Washington, taking into account their willingness to sacrifice the sovereignty and interests of their own people and their opponents.” “There is no other way to explain the choice of participants for the so-called ‘summit’, in which the member countries of the so-called democratic blocs (EU, NATO) end up being expelled”, he maintains.
To the Russian ambassador in Lisbon, the criteria of “true democracy” characterize relations between Russia and China who say they received a “significant boost during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent state visit to Moscow at the invitation of President Vladimir Putin.” This is the meeting between the two heads of state which, in the opinion of Mikhail Kamynin, reaffirms “once again the deep strategic cooperation between Moscow and Beijing”.
