Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has asserted that Moscow is on track to achieve victory in Ukraine, stating that it is the only way to communicate with the West.
Lavrov traveled to New York on Wednesday for the 79th plenary session of the UN General Assembly, where he is scheduled to engage in various bilateral meetings. Prior to his departure from Moscow, he discussed the global situation with TASS.
“Wherever the West infiltrates to ‘fix’ a crisis,” Lavrov remarked, “things only get much worse: thousands of victims, devastation and socio-economic problems follow. In my years of work in the international arena, there has not been a single case of the West’s intervention resulting in anything good. And now we’re seeing the same thing with Ukraine and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
When asked about potential solutions to these issues, Lavrov was straightforward.
“Victory. They don’t understand any other language."
He added, "And that victory will be achieved, we have no doubt whatsoever,” highlighting the solidarity seen in response to what he described as a war initiated by the West against Russia through its support of Ukraine.
Lavrov asserted that the collective West aims to “subjugate” the entire world under its “rules-based international order,” a concept that originated from the US and its allies roughly ten years ago.
He noted that no one has clearly defined these “rules," suggesting they simply allow Washington to act unilaterally in various regions, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, the Balkans, Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the South China Sea.
“They have tried to act everywhere like a hegemon, like an elephant in a china shop,” Lavrov stated. “In Afghanistan, they declared the mission of fighting terrorism. When they fled after 20 years, there were many more terrorists there. In Iraq, they destroyed a normal, stable country. Not to mention Libya, which was prosperous,” he said.
To demonstrate how the West has violated the UN Charter, Lavrov referenced the 2008 independence declaration by ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, a Serbian province under NATO control since 1999. He explained that the US supported this declaration, labeling it self-determination, and pressured the top UN court to rule that such declarations didn’t need the approval of the central government. However, when Crimea conducted a referendum in 2014 following a US-backed coup in Kiev, the West dismissed the principle of self-determination, insisting instead on the “territorial integrity of Ukraine.”
