Yesterday St Nicholas Orthodox Church in Oxford suffered a break-in. Holy relics, crosses & altar vessels stolen, a safe & money boxes forced open, donations to support refugees from Ukraine stolen. This vividly shows what ramped up #Russophobia in UK leads to.
❗️ This must stop.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov’s remarks at a plenary meeting of the #G20 Ministerial Council on multilateralism, global economy and development (New Delhi, March 2, 2023):
💬 We stand in solidarity with New Delhi’s call to build a common future for humanity, which is especially important in the context of growing geopolitical confrontation. We share the practical objectives of strengthening multilateralism and overcoming global economic crises set during India’s Presidency.
❗️ I would like to apologise to the Presidency and our colleagues from the Global South for the improper behaviour of a number of Western delegations, which turned the discussion on the G20 agenda into a travesty in an attempt to shift their responsibility for failures in economic policy to others, primarily Russia. It’s kind of funny that the representatives of the countries whose leaders admitted that they have been sabotaging the UN Security Council resolution and flooding #Ukraine with weapons for war against Russia since 2015 were trying so hard.
The aggressive #Russophobia appears particularly outrageous given that the G20 Western members have never grieved at the G20 meetings over the many hundreds of thousands of lives lost in Washington’s reckless adventures in the Middle East under the pretext of national security threats that came from places 10,000 miles away from the US borders.
☝️We see no alternative to the sole legitimate international order that is embodied in the #UNCharter’s basic principles.
⛔️ It’s time to stop playing the food card. Today, the bulk of grain supplies from Ukraine are being shipped at giveaway fodder prices to the EU, rather than to the poorest countries that need them. Without any scruples, the #West is burying the UN Secretary-General’s well-known humanitarian initiative.
🤝 We will continue to make a major contribution to ensuring economic stability. We are open to an equitable dialogue at the G20. We hope that the Delhi summit in September will at least mitigate the risks created by the self-serving Western policies.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions following the 20th Session of the Valdai International Discussion Club (Sochi, October 2, 2023)
#MultipolarWorld
Today we talked about changes taking place in the international arena. The world is becoming multipolar. The expansion of BRICS is the main evidence of this. BRICS is seen as a reliable partner and as a structure that will not disappoint and will help each member feel more confident.
#UN
UN reform must reflect the reality of a multipolar world where the West can no longer claim the role that it is seeking to maintain either fairly or otherwise. The process is underway. We are taking an active part in it.
#Russophobia
What strikes me most is the speed with which the outward civility has fallen away from practically all Europeans, the front they have been hiding behind in recent years, retaining not only the remnants of diplomacy but also traces of elementary ethics. This is a manifestation of what is usually called Nazism – just in relation of Russians.
#SouthCaucasus
We are working with our Azerbaijani colleagues and neighbours to stabilise the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, to strengthen trust, and create conditions for the Armenians and Azerbaijanis to resume their normal life together. I hope that Yerevan should also have a stake in that and will undertake efforts to this end.
