Lavrov: We will not accept a world dominated by the United States

Moscow (ST): Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reiterated that the unprecedented sanctions imposed by Washington and the West on Russia are an attempt to marginalize its role and establish a unipolar world, pointing out what is happening in Ukraine reflects that this Western approach has reached its climax.

Lavrov said during an interview with Russia Today, “The West has imposed more than 5,000 individual punishments against Russia, and this is an unparalleled record, and more will be imposed, but we will persevere and work to reinforce our strength to overcome its influence,” adding, “For now, Russia can rely only on itself and the remaining allies.” It no longer sees the West as a reliable partner. Europe has almost completely stopped defending its independence against the United States, which exerts great pressure and blackmail and wants the whole world to be dependent on it.

Lavrov indicated that his country would never accept a world dominated by the United States, which wants to act as a “global policeman”, indicating at the same time that Russia does not close the door to the West and is open to cooperation with everyone on the basis of equality and respect.

Lavrov explained that the West tried to turn Ukraine into a state hostile to Russia, pointing out that the goal of the Russian special military operation in it is to be a neutral, demilitarized state free of Nazism that does not pose any threat, pointing out that the crisis between the two countries will end, but the West will try to intervene to maintain the contradictions between them.
