According to him, “the task has been set loud and clear: to defeat Russia on the battlefield”. However, the diplomat believes that the West does not intend to stop there, but dreams of “eliminating Russia as a geopolitical competitor”.
Currently, the Russian minister also noted, everything that is happening around Ukraine is “accelerating the transition to a multipolar system of international relations”.
We see, Lavrov also said, that “Washington has used the Ukraine crisis to shore up its side.” But this “consolidation still looks a bit like the total subjugation of everyone to their will” and has given rise to a fault line “between the collective West and the world majority – the countries of the South and the East”.
But, underlined the Minister, among the leaders of the countries of the South, there are many who are ready to defend their interests there too, “perhaps without making too strong statements, but in practice they are ready to resist the dictates of the West, which is becoming more and more intrusive, more and more aggressive, including blackmail and threats.
In fact, Lavrov believes, any country that claims some kind of independent place in the global scenario will also be removed as a competitor.
