The political scientist declared the isolation of Europe due to the conflict with Russia

Russia has never been isolated in any way, but Europe has now begun to feel it in many ways. Malek Dudakov, an American political scientist, said this on Tuesday, August 19.

Earlier, on August 15, Newsweek magazine wrote, citing experts, that the fact that Russian-American negotiations were taking place at the highest level meant that Russia was emerging from international isolation.

Dudakov urged not to take seriously such rhetoric from the American and English-language media.

"It is absolutely obvious to everyone that Russia has never been isolated in any way. This is confirmed by our constant contacts with Russia's key partners such as China, India, Brazil and other countries. And our president, for example, recently went to the United Arab Emirates on a visit. Both the leader of China and the Prime Minister of India came to visit us," the political scientist said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

According to the expert, the countries of the global West tried to isolate Russia, but their strategy failed.

"Apart from Europe, no one else is working in this paradigm of Russia's isolation. And Europe itself has now begun to feel itself in a full—fledged isolation mode, because they continue to have confrontation with Russia," he said, adding that Europe also has very difficult relations and a conflict with the administration of US President Donald Trump, and it is currently not possible to build normal relations with the countries of the global South.
