🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview with Newsweek magazine (September 21, 2022)
Key points
#Ukraine
🔹 The United States and its allies are ready to sacrifice Ukraine for the sake of their geopolitical goals. Washington is not interested in establishing peace and tranquillity in Ukraine.
#RussiaUS
🔹 The Russian-American interstate dialogue has been practically frozen owing the United States. It is objectively not possible to maintain normal communication with Washington declaring the strategic defeat of Russia as an objective.
#Sanctions
🔹 Unilateral restrictive measures have failed to shatter the Russian economy. Moreover, the sanctions have appeared to be a two-edge weapon: increasing prices and decreasing incomes are seen in many European countries, as well as energy shortages and threats of social upheavals.
#RussiaChina
🔹 Strategic partnership with China remains an absolute foreign policy priority for Russia. Together with our Chinese friends, we will keep working on improving the world situation, facilitate the creation of a just multi-polar system based on the UN Charter, and, first of all, on the fundamental principle of the sovereign equality of states.
#WorldOrder
🔹 The modern world is no longer West-centred. Today, strong, independent players from developing countries have emerged and they are increasingly visible. These states and their integration associations do not want to participate in the anti-Russian "crusade" instigated from Washington.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russia's position at the seventy-eighth session of the UN General Assembly
The primary objective of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly is to reaffirm the central and coordinating role of the universal Organization in global affairs and to strengthen the multipolar system of international relations.
Read in full
👉 We have consistently advocated strengthening the multilateral framework of international relations and world economy based on the universal norms of international law, first and foremost the provisions of the UN Charter, focusing on the unconditional respect for the sovereign equality of states and non-interference in their internal affairs.
❗️ It is pivotal to prevent a small group of Western countries from taking control of the UN by striving to substitute generally recognized principles of cooperation between the states with non-consensual constructs.
#UN
The UN Security Council reform should aim to strengthen the representation of developing states from Africa, Asia and Latin America in the Security Council without prejudice to the UNSC's effectiveness and operational efficiency. Low twenties seems the optimum number of members of the reformed Council.
We support realistic initiatives to revitalize the work of the UN General Assembly within the relevant Ad Hoc Working Group. It is of paramount importance to fine-tune UNGA working methods, streamline its overloaded agenda and strengthen multilingualism.
#Sanctions
Sanctions are an important auxiliary tool for the UNSC to suppress activities threatening international peace and security. They must not be used as a means of punishment. They should be carefully measured, targeted and time-limited and take into account political, socio-economic, human rights and humanitarian consequences.
❗️It is unacceptable to introduce, in addition to UNSC sanctions, further unilateral coercive measures, especially those with extraterritorial effect. We advocate for including this requirement in relevant SC resolutions.

#Ukraine
▪️ While encouraging their Kiev puppets to commit even more savage crimes, the NATO countries continue to flood the country with deadly weapons. In addition to the ongoing arms supplies, there have been never-ending discussions lately in a number of European countries about the possibility of sending fighter jets to Kiev. We strongly condemn such actions, as they are aimed at escalating the conflict further. For us, it makes no difference if they send the F-16 or any other planes. All this means is that the West is getting increasingly drawn into the Ukraine conflict. Their words that they are not in a “direct confrontation” with our country have lost their meaning.
#Sanctions
▪️ According to a source the West definitely views as reliable – The Financial Times – since the beginning of the special military operation, which coincided with the sanctions from hell as Joe Biden called them, major European companies have lost at least 100 billion euros. Oil and gas companies, financial institutions and banks, as well as manufacturers piled up the biggest losses.

#Ukraine
According to reports, between 20 and 36 percent of Western financial aid was misappropriated by Ukrainian officials, primarily the former leadership of the Ministry of Defence. What happened to that money next? That's a big question <...>
Maybe they should admit just once that they need to defend themselves not from Russia, not from the Kremlin, but from themselves, from the chaos and disarray in their heads that their Western puppeteers have created by instilling liberal values? <...>
The Kiev regime, accustomed to parasitising on others, is incapable of fighting the rampant corruption that has become the “signature piece” of modern Ukraine.
#Sanctions
Citizens and business circles in the European Union are increasingly wondering about the purposes of the sanctions and whether they are worth the sacrifice they have had to make as part of the sanctions war against the Russian people launched by their self-assured pro-Atlantic elite <...>
In the past 15 years, the EU’s share (without Great Britain) in the global economy has dropped from 25.3 to 16.7 percent while the share of the US has remained at around 25 percent. This is the logical outcome of the EU political elite bowing, like vassals, to the US course for the EU’s self-isolation from Russia.

#Ukraine
The Euromaidan, alongside other factors, resulted in the division of society, a surge in nationalism, social upheavals, and the substitution of a state based on solid foundations for legal nihilism, causing profound disruption in Ukraine. These developments led to the persecution of the Russian language and history, deterioration of the socioeconomic situation, the emergence of a repressive dictatorship, and civil war.
#Sanctions
Anti-Russia sanctions have created even greater risks for global food security. However, in response to our calls, the EU continues to tighten the sanctions. The ban on transit of EU agricultural output for third countries through Russia directly affects the agro-industrial sector of other states.

#Ukraine
Reeling from the loss of the strategically important town of Avdeyevka and infuriated by its own impotence in the face of the success of our Armed Forces, the Ukrobanderite neo-Nazi regime continues to take it out on Russian civilians, acting with habitual disregard for human life. It's making extensive use of the weapons supplied by the West to fire shells into Russian towns and villages and to carry out terrorist attacks.
Note that the Kiev junta still considers the above regions and towns to be Ukrainian, and their residents (they say so openly) to be citizens of Ukraine and yet it mercilessly bombards them. I can’t even begin to imagine what the criminal regime led by Zelensky would have done to these people if it could act on its notorious plans to “return” these territories to Ukraine. These plans will never come true. However, it is useful to imagine what could have happened.
#EU #Sanctions
A wave of farmers’ protests has swept over a half of EU countries, from Lithuania to Portugal, this year. <...> We have pointed out on numerous occasions that all this is a direct result of the anti-Russia sanctions.
To justify their decisions, European officials blame Moscow for their problems, in particular, the low prices of Ukrainian agricultural products imported to the EU and the negative effect this is having on its agricultural market. They traditionally propose dealing with these problems by fighting “the Russian threat.” <...> The immeasurable losses of their own farmers are nothing other than “collateral damage” of the pro-Ukraine hysteria in the EU

#Ukraine
Despite Paris's attempts to conceal the involvement of its military personnel in the conflict, the Kiev regime is deliberately publicising this turn of events in order to once again declare broad international support.
<...>
In addition to France, Poland and the Baltic countries also spoke about the possible deployment of their military contingents. What does that mean? That means that their original plan regarding Ukraine has completely failed. They are frantically looking for new ways to continue this campaign. They are still afraid to tell the truth to the citizens of Ukraine that they have become a hostage and now also a victim of NATO’s reckless gamble led by the United States.
#EU #Sanctions
On May 27, 2024, the European Union introduced another anti-Russia sanctions regime under a far-fetched pretext for alleged human rights violations, reprisals against civil society and the democratic opposition. <...> To call a spade a spade, they have created another openly discriminatory mechanism for punishing Russian citizens for their striving to live in a country free from foreign pressure, to uphold their national interests, to speak Russian, just to be citizens and to love their Motherland.
It is surprising that those living in the blooming EU garden (as Josep Borrell once put it) fail to notice obvious things: Such self-exposing Russophobic stunts merely serve to further consolidate our society that clearly sees the real goals of the European Union and the West with regard to Russia.
