MOSCOW, June 23. /TASS/. The West began to prioritize the formation of a unipolar world after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Chief of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov said on Wednesday during the Moscow Conference on International Security.

"The dissolution of the Soviet Union has led to a change in opinions of the collective West on global security issues. It began to prioritize forming a unipolar world and achieving military supremacy, as well as using its military force to promote its own interests," Gerasimov said.

He mentioned armed conflicts in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria as demonstrations of this policy.
