Point summary of speech:
“The Future of the World Order Being Decided Today” – Russian FM Lavrov
Foreign Minister Lavrov has stressed it’s either one dominant nation, or the route Moscow is taking to end a world of blackmail, intimidation and undesirables.
๐Instead of dialogue & compromise, there is disinformation, crude dramatisation & provocation
๐West undermines trust in intl justice
๐Unipolar world serves “golden billion” at expense of Asia, Africa and Latin America – this is going to end
๐Washington creates geopolitical process to retain its dominance – thinks it’s “Lord God on Earth”
๐We all remember Yugoslavia, Iraq, and Libya – far from US shores where hundreds of thousands died
๐Name one country US entered by force and life became better
๐Illegal sanctions are political blackmail – deny civilians essential goods
Lavrov on Conflict & Crises – UNGA Address
Washington and Brussels aggravated a crisis by declaring economic war on Russia. The result has been soaring prices for food, fertilizer, oil and gas:
๐300,000 tonnes of grain were kept in European ports – Russia offered them to Africa for FREE
๐West openly intent on not only Russian military defeat, but destruction of geopolitical magnitude
๐For years, Russia tried to create buffer zones for security
๐Western incompetence, Kiev’s war against its own people left Russia no choice but to protect Russians in Donbass
๐Operation complies with UN Charter Article 51 on mutual assistance treaty
๐Zelensky in Aug 2021 told people in these regions to “get out to Russia”
๐NATO declared Russia immediate threat en route to total US dominance, China long-term
๐Russia wants UNSC expansion to include India, Brazil – increase profile of Africa
๐Attempts being made to hide US biological programmes around the world
