🗣 It is quite telling that Washington, London, and their allies never mention, let alone engage, the foundational charter principle that the Organisation is based on − the principle of the sovereign equality of all its members.
This principle is meant to ensure that all countries have a dignified place in the world, regardless of their size, form of government, or political and socioeconomic structure. However, the West is trying to divide the world into democracies which can do as they please, and others, which must serve the interests of the golden billion. Western exceptionalism is epitomised by EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell publicly calling Europe a garden, and the rest of the world a jungle. This is not sovereign equality, but pure colonialism.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s address to participants in the No Statute of Limitations international forum (October 24, 2023)
* * *
77 years ago, on October 1, 1946, the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg delivered a historic verdict, condemning the main Nazi war criminals and legally securing the defeat of the Hitler regime. This truly epoch-making event rightfully went down in history as the Trial of Nations. The Nuremberg trials opened a new page in the development of international law. The foundation of the modern system of international criminal justice was laid then.
The Tribunal established that the Nazi atrocities were on a scale previously unknown in history. War crimes and crimes against humanity were systematically committed, including against the civilian population. Those Nazi organisations that systematically developed and implemented these misanthropic plans are forever outlawed.

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the Primakov Readings International Forum (Moscow, 27 November 2023):
💬 Proceeding from the principles of equality and mutual respect, the BRICS states are reaching a balance of interests via consensus. Nobody is imposing anything on anybody, nobody is blackmailing anyone and nobody forces anyone to make the choice: “it is either us or them,” “either you are with us or against us.”
It’s no surprise that dozens of states want to get closer to BRICS."

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the Primakov Readings International Forum (Moscow, 27 November 2023):
💬 The world is changing, and multilateral diplomacy reflects this.
#BRICS cooperation is one of the best examples of this. In this framework, countries representing different civilisations, religions and macro-regions are effectively developing ties in the most diverse areas – from politics and security to the economy, finances, healthcare, sports and culture.

📍10 December 2023:
💬 On the basis of five hundred years, the US and its allies built the model of globalization, which they believed would serve them well to continue to be number one in economy, in military exercises, in culture, politics, and so on and so forth.
And they thought that they would be using this globalization scheme to continue their domination.

💬 I mentioned the phenomenon of "cancel culture".
☝️ It's not a war of choice. It's the operation which we could not avoid given the years of Ukraine being prepared by the United States and NATO as an instrument to undermine Russia's security.

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at an interview with Channel One’s Bolshaya Igra (Great Game) political talk show (Moscow, December 18, 2023):
💬 President Putin provided a detailed and clear overview of the current phase of confrontation with the West.
☝️ We are well aware of the fact (as we made it clear many years ago) that all of this is not about Ukraine but about containing Russia. Kiev was used as a tool to pose permanent military threats to the Russian Federation and to eradicate our influence to the extent of destroying Russian traditions, language, culture, and even ethnic Russians physically.
The Zelensky regime officials proudly confessed this.

Excerpts from the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's statement at the UN Security Council meeting, New York, 22 January 2024:
🔹 The Russian Federation has launched a special operation not against Ukraine or the Ukrainian people, but against the criminal regime in Kiev.
🔹 The West is pushing Ukraine with manic persistence to continue the armed confrontation.
🔹 The Kiev regime is "in agony".
🔹 It is clear to most experts that a peaceful settlement in Ukraine is being hindered by the West's support for the Kiev regime/
🔹 The West is carrying out a profitable "business project" in Ukraine for itself, and is also “disposing of junk” from weapons.
🔹 The corrupt Zelensky regime resells some of the weapons supplied by the West on the black market.
🔹 Biden and the British leadership consider the support of Ukraine against the Russian Federation an "excellent investment".
🔹 The West in Ukraine is cynically waging war against Russia, which it wants to "put in its place".
🔹 It’s time for sensible Europeans to wake up and understand that with the help of the Zelensky regime, the United States is not only waging war against the Russian Federation, but is also solving the strategic task of sharply weakening Europe as an economic competitor.
🔹 The United States is deliberately blocking any attempts to conduct an honest investigation into Nord Stream, and the EU has resigned itself to public humiliation.
🔹 Russians and Ukrainians live in Crimea in peace and harmony.

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov on the outcomes of the #G20 Rio de Janeiro Summit:
The establishment of a new coordinating entity – the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty – received support. This initiative, personally championed by President of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, aims to expedite progress towards the complete eradication of hunger, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, which, despite being long endorsed, have not been effectively implemented, although this ought to be accomplished by 2030.
☝️ I am hopeful (and can assert with a reasonable degree of certainty) that the formation of such an alliance will enhance outcomes in this domain, in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals.

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov:
[G20 Rio de Janeiro Leaders’ Declaration] has a paragraph (which starts the section) advocating for the resolution of disputes based on justice and international law, namely, the full scope of the #UN Charter.
❗️This is crucial, particularly when applied to Ukraine.
☝️ The West emphasises only the principle of territorial integrity. It dreams of Ukraine taking back the territories it had as of 1991. These lands were home to the Russian people for centuries, but the Zelensky regime disenfranchised them. They choose to look the other way when it comes to this matter, even though the other section of the Charter (Article 1) clearly states the importance of respecting human rights regardless of race, gender, language, or religion. The rights of Russian-speaking people in Ukraine regarding language and religion have been eradicated under Ukrainian legislation.
Western nations, however, dismiss these violations, because Zelensky is allegedly upholding the “European values.”
