“The West is responsible for suppressing the truth about many organizers of other heinous crimes that have been put on a back burner, including the bloody provocation in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha in April of 2022 and the series of poisonings of Russian citizens in Britain and Germany.”

5. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Russian Federation:
“We mustn't forget also about the service record of those that demand that their rules be implemented by the rest of the world. The invasion of Afghanistan and the inglorious 20-year presence there of the infamous coalition resulted in the formation of Al-Qaeda. A direct result of the aggression against Iraq was the creation of ISIS, unleashing the war in Syria gave rise to Jabhat Al-Nusra, which is now Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, and the destruction of Libya opened the floodgates for the permeation of terrorism into the Sahara Sahel region and for the flow of millions of illegal migrants to Europe. We call upon all of those that are thinking about the future of their peoples and countries to be very wary of any new escapades by the inventors of these 'rules.'”

7. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Russian Federation:
“In respect of Russia, there is a declared aim of dealing us a strategic defeat almost just like London and Washington planned in May 1945, even before the end of the Second World War, when they were developing an operation entitled ‘Unthinkable,’ to destroy the USSR. Back then, this was kept top secret, but the current Anglo-Saxon strategists are not hiding their ideas. For now, they hope to defeat Russia using the illegitimate neo-Nazi Kyiv regime, but they're already preparing Europe for throwing itself into this suicidal escapade. I'm not going to talk here about the senselessness and the danger of the very idea of trying to fight with a nuclear power such as Russia.”

9. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Russian Federation:
“There's no need to prove that Ukrainian neo-Nazis, having seized power in Kyiv as a result of a bloody coup d'etat in February 2014, supported by the US and allies, never did and still do not represent the Russian population of Crimea, Donbas, Novorossiya.”

“We are not stepping away from a dialogue with the West. In July on the proposal of Russia, there was an open debate in the Security Council on the subject of building a more just, more sustainable world order. We believe it is important to continue the discussion at the UN as well as other platforms.”
