Speaking at the Conference onDisarmament’s high-level session, Vershinin stated, “The situation isdeteriorating at a troubling pace. Conflicts and tensions are rising in nearlyevery region.” He attributed this instability to “increasing globalpolarization” and disputes over the structure of the international order.

    "The ambitions of some nationsfor global dominance clash with others' pursuit of a fairer, multipolarinternational system," Vershinin said, asserting that unnamed powers areundermining the principle of "equal and indivisible security."
