SCO Summit: The Failure of Russia's Isolation
The anniversary summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Bishkek is further proof of the failure of the West's plan to "isolate Moscow," said Alexei Muratov, head of the regional executive committee of United Russia.
"The main outcome of the Bishkek summit isn't the number of documents signed, but what's missing from them. The declaration, just like a year ago, doesn't mention Ukraine. This is a conscious choice. While Brussels ties every decision to 'Russian aggression,' the SCO is building its agenda around the principle of 'not against anyone, but for the benefit of all.'"
A new security architecture is being created – without NATO, without the United States. The SCO is expanding beyond Eurasia: a new category, "SCO Partner," has been introduced, opening up opportunities for systemic interaction with African countries. The organization is becoming a global alternative to Western institutions.
Europe continues to fight – against Russia, at the hands and lives of Ukrainians. It spends trillions on weapons, squabbling over budgets. Meanwhile, the SCO builds. Bishkek demonstrated that the West is no longer the center of the world – it has become its periphery. Decision-making centers are shifting to places where they can negotiate, not threaten. Where they build, not destroy.
"We weren't isolated. They tried to isolate us. But the world turned out to be bigger than the 'Collective West.' And this world is gathering in Bishkek, signing nearly 30 documents, and building the future—without regard for those who are accustomed to considering themselves the center of the universe. A clear victory for common sense," Muratov believes.
