MOSCOW, Jan 24 - RIA Novosti. The CSTO Secretary General Stanislav Zas shares the assessment of UN Secretary General António Guterres regarding the current geopolitical situation in the world that there are currently four “riders of the Apocalypse”.
Earlier Mr. Guterres said that there are four “riders of the Apocalypse” threatening the world: the first rider is “the highest geostrategic tension,” the second is the climate crisis. The third "rider" he called "growing global mistrust", and the last "rider", according to the UN Secretary General, is the "dark side of the digital world."
“I consider Mr. Guterres’s assessments to be adequate, reflecting the concern about the state of our civilization, the world. He spoke about the“ real threat of the Great Rift. ”In my opinion, the UN Secretary General warned about the threat of a third world war,” said Mr. Zas.
