Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Russian president, stated that the world entered a new era in 2014 that changed everything and necessitated decisive actions by Moscow.

Peskov, as reported by the TASS news agency on the night of Friday, February 13, identified events in Europe that year and the West's role in the Ukrainian government coup as the point where a clear line was crossed in international relations. This development compelled Russia to review its approach toward its former partners.

His statements reflect the Kremlin's view of fundamental changes in the global order and the necessity for Moscow to adopt new policies.
