Sergei Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, spoke to the Russian news agency TASS. An interview in which he underlines the responsibility of Western countries in the global unrest that is currently raging. He also warned of the consequences of these conflicts.
”Storms continue to rage around the world and one of the reasons for this is that the ruling circles of the West provoke conflicts thousands of kilometers from their borders to solve their own problems to the detriment of other peoples. We can say that, given the circumstances in which the West clings to the dominance that eludes it, no one can be safe from its geopolitical intrigues. We are becoming more and more aware of this,” says Sergei Lavrov.
War in Ukraine: “Putin instills terror with one goal in mind”
With these words, the Russian minister denounces the imperialism that Western countries try to exercise and justifies Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an existential struggle against the “collective West”. An expansion of Western influence that would occur through the enlargement of NATO.
After the war in Ukraine Lavrov also underlines the responsibility of the United States in the conflicts that broke out in the Middle East. He blames many years of American foreign policy failures and calls for a reduction in tension. “It is essential to break the vicious cycle of violence and put an end to the injustice suffered by several generations of Palestinians,” he said.
Ceasefire in Ukraine
Regarding the situation in Ukraine, Sergei Lavrov believes that Ukraine is not ready to start negotiations to end the war, which Russia describes as a “special military operation”. “I must note that the Zelensky regime is not ready for peace. His representatives think only in terms of war and resort to completely aggressive rhetoric. There is no consideration for peace talks…. Draw your own conclusions,” proclaims Lavrov. President Zelensky refuses to enter into any negotiations as long as Russian forces are present on Ukrainian territory.
Finally, Lavrov recalled that Russia will continue its operations in Ukraine until its objectives are achieved.
