By refusing to negotiate, the US and NATO left Moscow no choice but to launch its military operation in Ukraine, FM Sergey Lavrov said.
Years of NATO encroachment on Russia and the West’s refusal to negotiate over Ukraine left Russia “no choice” but to launch its special military operation, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the UN on Saturday. However, Lavrov added that Russia is now shaping “the future of the world order.”
“The US and its allies want to stop the march of history,” Lavrov declared from the podium in New York, describing how in the aftermath of the Cold War, Washington appointed itself “almost an envoy of God on earth,” launching foreign conflicts at will and expanding the NATO alliance deeper into Eastern Europe.
The shifting of NATO’s borders to the east and its official declaration of interest in the Indo-Pacific region mean that the US-led bloc “now has the goal of subjugating the Asian area,” Lavrov stated. However, it was the West’s refusal to negotiate over Ukraine that led Russia to fight back, he continued.
“The West watched in silence as the coup plotters started bombing the east of Ukraine,” he said, referring to Kiev’s attacks on the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics even after the Minsk agreements had been signed in 2014 and 2015.
Were we supposed to put up with Kiev’s attempt to ban the Russian language, education, Russian media and culture? The demands of chasing Russians out of Crimea? The declaration of war against the Donbass, the population of which was declared not human beings, but ‘creatures’ by both the former and the current Kiev’s authorities?
Once the US and NATO rejected a Russian-proposed security deal for Ukraine, Moscow had “no choice but to recognize the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics and start a special military operation,” Lavrov said, adding that “any sovereign self-respecting state would do the same, a state that understands its responsibility to its own people.”
Seven months into that operation, and with Russia recently announcing the mobilization of some 300,000 additional troops, Lavrov told the assembly that “the future of the world order is being decided,” with the US-led “unipolar” model “receding into the past.”
Lavrov explained the facts very well. Nothing from our main stream media on this. They continue to do the propaganda on behalf of the deepstate. Agent and globalist mascot Jacinda continued lies at UN. No suprise here. Jacinda claimed “unprovoked” and “illegal” actions of Russia. It is an utter lie to claim that Russian actions are unprovoked. Lavrov clearly explained what was going on over a decade in Ykraine, 2014 coup, nenazis gaining power, banning anything russian, killing russian speaking population in the eastern part of Ukraine etc. Jacinda is a pathological liar to claim that it is “illegal”. Kosovo conflict is no differnet to Ukrainan conflict. NATO and West claimed it is legal and also used depleted uranium nuclear weapons. UN Chater does not let unilateral intervention and US has done this illegal war crimes on many past occasions killing millions. Jacinda has the audacity to tell lies to us and made claims on “immoral” when she is 100% tyrannical and immoral. What a farce Jacinda is.
100% and yes this was a GREAT speech. What a shame our disgusting Mainstream Media will never report it.
It’s about time the Americans fight a war on their own soil. They love fighting wars in other countries and using other peoples sons to fight them. Maybe then just maybe American people will wake up and realise how corrupt their govt is and finally do something about it.
“the future of the world order is being decided,” with the US-led “unipolar” model “receding into the past.”
This was one of the many whacky goals of the WEF in their great reset promo video a few years ago, remember? The US will no longer be the only super power, there will be a handful of them.
NATO have acted deliberately, it’s obvious. I don’t know if the Russians are in on the pantomime or if they’re legitimately doing what they believe is right, but it honestly doesn’t even matter as the end result will be the same.
At the end of the day it’s just two shitty, corrupt, deceitful regimes squaring off against one another. I couldn’t care less about who virtue signals the loudest in their scripted speeches.
What I care about are the people who have died and will still die, not just in the warzones but in the rest of the world as these idiots accelerate the food shortages and the inflation and the diseases (wars almost always lead to plagues).
Said it before and I’ll say it again, these asshole politicians should strap on rifles and go kill each other in a field somewhere if that’s what they want, go play your game of thrones by yourselves, but leave the rest of us alone. We’re sick and tired of your wars, just f*ck off already!
They tried to make you stick a vaccine in your arm, next they’ll want to give you or your son (or daughter) a rifle and tell you to go murder some foreigners you’ve never met overseas somewhere. Some of you may die, but it’s a price THEY’RE willing to pay.
My answer will be the same then as it is now – get f*cked ????
I agree. These war mongers need to go fight their own bloody wars. Citizens of this country and the world have no appetite for war and we will NOT give them our sons. Send Hunter Biden to Ukraine he seems to know his way around.
Sanctions are illegal as well as immoral. US is doing this for a long time without the UN mandate. New Zealand is a highly export dependent economy which will thrive only under free trade should be opposing any type of sanctions. Jacinda arden has no morlaity, and she is a apathological liar who endorsed sanctions. Assume that the Taiwan issue become serious and US wants NZ to sanction. What will happen to our economy? NZ foreign policy is pathetic and dictated by US. We lost our soverienity.
We really should be joining the BRICS+ trading system as a fully sovereign nation, and moving away from being in effect a vassal state of the Western empire. Those who gain most from the current system will stubbornly oppose it, but there is no future for us with the West, which is built on pyramid-scheme economics primarily benefitting a tiny global few. The West also does not really hold the moral high ground, the closer you look the more apparent it becomes that this is an illusion produced by the mainstream media.
The Alexander Mercouris channel on youtube has the best take on the actual situation.
Many sources collated to make sense of it.
100%. He’s balanced and truthful
Jacinda “humbly and politely” urged the world to ban nuclear weapons at the UN. I noticed during the TVNZ interview she was wearing a black and white checker style skirt. I wonder if that was a signal to the fraternity to begin the next psyop, that is, nuclear disarmament propaganda.
Jacinda can start with Liz Truss and Macron who both threatened using nuclear weapons in the context of Ukraine.
Good spotting……it’s not lost on me that she has been seen doing hand signs as well…….and we know who else did a hand sign don’t we? Our resident aussie eco fascist. Of course our media blurred it and called it a white supremacy sign, but we know what it meant. Satanists.
Mainstream media seems to be planting a narrative along the lines of: Putin is losing in Ukraine, he is getting desperate, he could do anything in his desperation. (see Simon Tisdall in the Guardian for one example). In reality this is nonsense, but it would make sense if the purpose was to set the ground work for a false-flag (a staged event to be blamed on an adversary).
I watched Lavrov, post UN speech press conference.
This man is impressive! He makes the West diplomats and politicians look like children.
I very much enjoyed Lavrov’s speech. He is a caliber of statesman the west do not have. Our statesmen are all of them lewd perverse liars. Dogs that have another master. Lavrov outlined the immorality of the US and its repeated abuse of power. Its utter conceit of UN process and manipulation of that organization for its own ends,
Who along with its UK and European partners has with Russia, come to a day of reckoning. Because unlike Iraq, Syria, Libya and a host of smaller, weaker nations, Russia has the belief, fortitude and assets to go toe to toe with the west, and then some.
The US plans in the Ukraine have taken a sharp turn for the worse. Russia via its referendum’s, bogus or not, are about to claim several Ukraine regions as its own. And once done will protect those areas with whatever means it has at its disposal. It is clear the US is angling for nuclear confrontation for some time now, and the depopulation that would cause would also fit neatly into their climate change agenda.
Yep they are truly sick bastards.
Irrespective of what Lavrov says, the NWO implementatioin is in force. Food is a weapon which is used to control us. It looks like Australia has taken over the role of experimental plot for exercising conrol on food and thereby control the sheeples. $8 For a Loaf of Bread. Aussie Cossack shortie @
