The Speaker of Russia’s Federation Council (Senate), Valentina Matviyenko, wrote on the Federation Website on the 80th anniversary of the 1945 Yalta Conference, that “the stable system of international law that emerged from the Yalta Conference has been dismantled, primarily by the US. But today, the spirit and meaning of that conference are more needed than ever. At the same time, I fully understand that a literal repetition of the Yalta format is impossible today. The world has changed dramatically.”
Matviyenko went on to explain that there are new political, economic and military power centers in the world, such as the BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Eurasian Economic Union and many others.
