Sternik stressed that the West has been persistently trying to drive a wedge between Russia and its immediate neighbors in the region.
“The goal of such actions is simple: not only to isolate Russia, but also to cover the EU’s own economic deficits at the expense of the resources of Central Asian countries,” Sternik concluded.
