The world has reached a dangerous point, and the situation is aggravated by the refusal of the United States and allies to diplomacy. This was stated on Monday, April 24, by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a meeting of the UN Security Council on effective multilateralism through the protection of the principles of the organization’s charter.
The world has reached a possibly even more dangerous point since the Cold War, exacerbated by the failure of the United States and allies to diplomacy. This was stated by Sergey Lavrov.
“Dear colleagues, we have again, as in the years of the Cold War, approached a dangerous, and perhaps even more dangerous, line,” Lavrov said.
“The situation is aggravated by the loss of faith in multilateralism, when the financial and economic aggression of the West destroys the benefits of globalization, when the US and its allies abandon diplomacy and demand a showdown “on the battlefield”. All this is within the walls of the UN, created to prevent the horrors of war, the minister continued.
“The voices of responsible, sensible forces, calls to show political wisdom, to revive the culture of dialogue are drowned out by those who have taken a course to undermine the fundamental principles of interstate communication.”
The head of Russian diplomacy also said that Kyiv can in no way represent the inhabitants of the territories that did not accept the results of the 2014 coup d’état.
“It is obvious to any impartial observer that the Nazi Kiev regime cannot in any way be considered as representing the inhabitants of the territories who refused to accept the results of the bloody coup d’état in February 2014 and against whom the putschists unleashed a war for this,” he said.
In his speech, the Russian minister also noted that the “Ukrainian issue” cannot be considered in isolation from the geopolitical context.
“Today everyone understands, although not everyone talks about it out loud. This is not about Ukraine at all, but about how international relations will continue to be built: through the formation of a stable consensus based on a balance of interests, or through aggressive and explosive promotion of [the West’s] hegemony. It is impossible to consider the “Ukrainian issue” in isolation from the geopolitical context,” Lavrov said.
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry also expressed the opinion that Western countries should behave decently, no one allowed them to speak on behalf of all mankind.
“Let’s call a spade a spade. No one allowed the Western minority to speak on behalf of all mankind. We must behave decently and respect all members of the international community,” said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
