🇷🇺🇨🇭 On September 21, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with President of the Swiss Confederation and Head of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs Ignazio Cassis in New York on the sidelines of the 77th Session of the UN General Assembly.
👉 The Russian side pointed out Switzerland's departure from the principle of neutrality, as evidenced in fully siding with the EU’s anti-Russia sanctions and pursuing an unfriendly policy with regard to Russia. Bern was called on to return to neutral state policy, which in previous years won the Confederation recognition in the international arena.
During the discussion on the situation in Ukraine in the context of the special military operation conducted by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Sergey Lavrov laid out Russia’s fundamental approaches to this matter.

🇷🇺🇻🇦 Sergey #Lavrov had a meeting with Secretary of State of the Holy See Cardinal Pietro Parolin on the #UNGA77 Session.
▫️ The Minister made clear the reasons for the ongoing crisis in relations between Russia and the West, which is the result of NATO’s crusade to destroy Russia and split the world. The steps taken by Russia are designed to ensure independence and security, as well as to counter the United States’ hegemonic aspirations to control all global processes.
▫️ Sergey Lavrov explained that the forthcoming referendums in the DPR and the LPR, as well as the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, are fully consistent with international law and serve to ensure the legitimate rights of the residents of these territories to self-determination and to building their life in accordance with their own civilisational, cultural and religious traditions.
🤝 The parties noted the productive nature of the ongoing Russian-Vatican state-to-state and church-to-church dialogue at the high and highest levels.
