The head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, has made a statement regarding the US's approach to global security. He indicated that Washington sees China as its main rival among its strategic priorities.
The editorial reports that according to Budanov, the US assesses the deepening cooperation between China and Russia as a serious threat. This cooperation is considered a factor that can influence the global balance of power.
Budanov noted that it is precisely for this reason that the US is trying to distance Russia from this emerging axis with China. In his opinion, Washington considers weakening Moscow's strategic rapprochement with Beijing to be in its long-term interests.
The statements by the Ukrainian official indicate that geopolitical competition among major powers in international relations has entered a new phase. It is reported that this process will affect the regional and global security environment in the future.
