In an interview with Expert magazine this Tuesday the diplomat stressed that the emergence of a multipolar world and the emergence of new truly independent and sovereign power centers frightens the West, which is clinging to its elusive hegemony.

Obviously, they hope to take advantage of the transition to a new technological order and, after monopolizing AI technologies, promote the era of neo-colonialism, he pointed out.

Zajárova added that these “attempts” by the West required them to make additional efforts of disinformation, “something they are doing with enthusiasm”.

Hence the constant attempts to denigrate not only our country, but also the BRICS, our partners, the countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America”, he said.

The spokesperson assured that the most effective weapon against disinformation was truth and facts. The politician stressed that Russia was using all available means, both traditional and new, for this.

“For example, the capabilities of digital diplomacy are being used. In this sense, the Russian Foreign Ministry is one of the world leaders: with the help of our digital network, department accounts, our foreign institutions and Russian diplomats, we transmit truth and objective information about our country”, he said.

We reached audiences even in the most remote countries. Truth breaks through censorship and blockade, he emphasized.

In western countries today there is a huge demand for reliable information and different points of view, concluded Zajárova.
