The president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, and the vice president of the Russian Security Council, Dmitri Medvedev, agreed on Monday a collaboration commitment between the ruling parties in their countries, the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) and United Russia, respectively.
The agreement, planned by Ortega and Medvedev in a videoconference held this Monday, will be signed “in the coming days, between a delegation from the Sandinista Front that will be present at forums and events coordinated by the United Russia party,” said the vice president of Nicaragua, Rosario Murillo, through official media.

Ortega, who returned to power in 2007 after coordinating a Government Junta from 1979 to 1985 and presiding over the country for the first time from 1985 to 1990, is the secretary general of the FSLN.
The Sandinista leader is one of the main allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin in America, and has expressed his support for a “new multipolar world order” promoted by Russia and China, to end the global leadership of the United States and the West.
After the meeting with Ortega, Medvedev turned to his Telegram account, where he claimed to have recalled two attacks that occurred in the 1980s of the last century in Nicaragua – when the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) sponsored the rulers Sandinistas-, which he attributed to the United States.
One in 1983 against an oil storage infrastructure, and another in 1984 against an oil pipeline. “Doesn’t it remind you of anything?” said the former Russian prime minister.
Since his return to power in 2007, the Sandinista leader has strengthened his relations with Putin, who has sent Nicaragua support for military, transportation, and food issues, among others.
Ortega was also an ally of Moscow in his first time as head of state, between 1979 and 1990.
