⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview for a documentary titled "The UN from the 20th to the 21st Century" (Moscow, September 25, 2024)

Key points:

• Less than a year after the victorious powers established the UN based on the noble principles formulated in its charter, it became clear that the West, acting contrary to these principles, intended to launch a war against the Soviet Union, and not merely a cold war but an all-out war. These plans hatched by the then "Anglo-Saxons" [nations of the Anglosphere led by the US & UK] have long become public knowledge.

• Once NATO was created, the Soviet Union circulated a large document which demonstrated the detrimental effect of that and the danger of building walls between the East and the West, especially in Europe, and called for respecting the #UNCharter and for working towards this. Our call was not heeded.

✊ However, we kept fighting for justice and the implementation of the principle of sovereign equality of nations. Decolonisation was a bright stage and a major embodiment of that principle. The Soviet Union was the main initiator of the 1960 Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. Following its adoption, the number of UN states increased by 80-90 members.

• They tell us that the main goal today is to ensure the territorial integrity of Ukraine. It is a misleading interpretation of the UN Charter, where the right of nations to self-determination is put before territorial integrity.

• Even before demanding respect for territorial integrity, the UN Charter demands respect for human rights without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion <…> Now that Zelensky’s Nazi regime, which the West nurtured, has banned both the language and religious rights of a large number of its own population, the West has put away the banners it was waving for decades.

❗️The top priority now is to ensure the achievement of the initial goals and principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and as a whole, rather than selectively or occasionally.

• The reform of the UN Security Council is not a one-off event. It’s a process which has been ongoing since the time the United Nations came into being <...> Nevertheless, it relies on principles that must be preserved at all costs. The main principle is that the Security Council reform should be based on a broad-based agreement among states. It does not say “consensus,” but it does state “broad-based agreement among states.”

🌍 🇮🇳🇧🇷 We have invariably supported the legitimate aspirations of India and Brazil to secure permanent seats in the Security Council. However, African aspirations must be met as well. Africa has common collective positions, which we respect. And we would have like that.

• Our position implies providing additional seats for Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We are open to some of these seats being permanent, but we need to achieve general agreement before we can move forward. It is a complicated process. I don’t see any chance for bringing this process to a swift and expedited completion any time soon.

• Since the UN was created, there has never been a time, a region, or a situation that involved the United States in one way or another, where the country would actually respect that principle. Every time, everywhere they acted as a hegemon, or like a "bull in a china shop".

• When they wanted to punish Russia, the West abandoned all the principles which it was feeding to us and which it declared sacred. The same is happening to the principles of the UN Charter. The West is trampling and destroying them without a moment’s hesitation.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks following a ceremony of laying flowers to the memorial plaques inside the Foreign Ministry Building on the occasion of Diplomatic Worker’s Day (Moscow, February 10, 2025)

💬 Sergey Lavrov: Today, as usual, we are paying tribute to the memory of our predecessors — employees of the People’s Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, who went to fight the enemy at the front, and those who were creating additional conditions for the success of the anti-Hitler coalition in their workplaces. Our colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Trade fought and worked side by side with us.

We honour the memory of our colleagues, who died on the job while performing the tasks set by Motherland, and the memory of victims of political repressions. Today, I want to welcome our friends from embassies of #CIS countries, other close allies, and heads of executive boards of CIS integration alliances, who are taking part in this ceremony for the third time.

❗️ Our common task is to preserve the historical memory and prevent the rewriting of history of that war. It is the peoples of the USSR that bore the brunt of Victory in it. On these days, we have come together, as our leaders will at the May 9 Victory Parade in honour of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War that was won by the Soviet people. <...>

Today, like 80 years ago, the whole of Europe has banded together and declared the need to inflict a “strategic defeat” on the Russian Federation by employing the Kiev regime as their proxy. And again, this is happening under the Nazi banners and with the use of Nazi symbols.

Our sacred duty is to do all we can to achieve in full the goals of the Special Military Operation, as ordained by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and performed every day by our heroes at the fronts of the special military operation.

I am pleased that the Foreign Ministry staff, GlavUpDK, the Veterans Council, and the Young Diplomats’ Council help and are involved in the national support for the special military operation, including visits to areas of hostilities and delivery of humanitarian assistance and other necessary things that make the life of our fighters more varied and help them display courage and heroism in the struggle against the enemy. <...>

☝️ Our task — in parallel to the diplomatic and foreign policy support for the special military operation as our main priority — is to make all Global South and Global East countries realise that there is no alternative to a multipolar international order and that it is absolutely necessary to protect the fundamental principles of the UN Charter that ensure equality and justice in international affairs. <...>

Today, it is of fundamental importance for us, like in the years of the Great Patriotic War, to display fortitude and commitment to the ideals of our Motherland, its history, legacy of our great ancestors, and simultaneously to the ideals of the #UNCharter.

👉 The world will be more democratic and multipolar, and it largely depends on our work and on our interaction with our allies, like-minded people, and strategic partners how fast it will be possible to arrive at a situation where our Western “neighbours” on this planet will also realise that there is no alternative to precisely this honest approach.
