Lavrov: West course is fraught with new confrontation situations

Russia does not build its line against the United States and not against the West, and also has no desire to “ditch the dollar.” This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov at a meeting with students and the faculty of MGIMO.

“We do not want to ditch the dollar. The United States ceases to ensure the role of the dollar, which was acceptable to everyone. This is the problem,” Lavrov said.

At the same time, the minister noted that the course of Western countries on the application of the Russian Federation strategic defeat in the foreseeable future will not disappear.

“The calculations of those who are lamented about the collapse of our relations with Western colleagues, to the fact that everything will once return to their own, they are built on the sand. The line of the West, the course that was proclaimed to apply Russia strategic defeat, he will not disappear in the foreseeable future. And we understand it very well, ”the head of the diplomatic mission said.

According to the minister, Russia will develop relations with those who are “ready for this on the basis of equal rights and search for an honest balance of interests.”

The Western course, which is now aimed at trying to slow down the course of history, will bring only additional difficulties for the world community and additional confrontation situations, the head of the diplomatic mission says.

“The formation of a multipolar world order will take a long period, it can be a long historical era, but this process is objective and not to stop it,” he emphasized.

According to the minister, the clash of those who “want justice on the basis of the principle of sovereign equality, and not invented desires,” and those who “want to rule according to their rules” will be quite long.

“This principle of sovereign equality has never been recognized by the West, they never realized it in any of their undertakings. They always sought to crush any international processes for themselves,” said Lavrov.

At the same time, the Russian Minister believes that the “special military operation (SVI) of“ Russia in Ukraine ”gave a powerful impetus to the movement, which already ripened in the world community, to justice and multipolarity.”

“The countries of the global south, we also call them the countries of the new majority, do not want to live on the rules that the” golden billion “invented under the leadership of the United States and imposes everything,” said the Russian minister.

affecting the topic of food security, Lavrov said that “now practical work is being organized to implement gratuitous supplies of Russian grain” six African countries. It is planned to put up to about 50 thousand tons of grain in each state, the minister explained.
