H/T karlof1 MoA Question: As you have repeatedly said, there are now more and more different initiatives for a Ukrainian settlement. At the same time, the proposals emanating from Western countries are aimed exclusively at one-sided promotion of the "Zelensky peace formula" without taking into account the realities "on the ground" and the interests of Russia. What problems arise in this regard from your point of view? Sergey Lavrov: In connection with the numerous initiatives on the Ukrainian settlement, we reaffirm that we appreciate any efforts to achieve a just and sustainable peace. It is clear that justice cannot be achieved in any conflict unless the rights of national minorities are strictly respected by all. Moreover, there is no alternative for Ukraine, where Russian has always been the native language for the majority of the population. In the West, they put all their efforts on imposing the "Zelensky formula" on the Global South and demand the return of the situation to the borders of 1991, but no one in Washington, nor in London, nor in Paris and Brussels said a word about the attitude towards the repeatedly and loudly declared position of the Kiev regime: "We will take Crimea, Donbass and our other lands" and "we will destroy everything Russian there." The need to stop these neo-Nazi threats is obvious. However, in the multiplying initiatives "on Ukraine" this topic is silent. And the defeat of Russian-speaking rights continues at full speed. In July of this year, the city administration of Kiev banned the use of the Russian language in the artistic public space (a ban on songs, performances, films and other cultural events). Has anyone scolded the Kyiv regime? In return, all new invitations to Zelensky on international tours. Why don't the Western impresario ask him to publicly present to the world community another "formula" about how today's Kiev sees the situation of Russians and other national minorities in their country after the "victory", for which NATO and the EU do not spare money and weapons? I am sure that this would help many caring countries in the Global South to better understand what is happening when building their positions. We have seen that they are interested in a comprehensive understanding of the nature of the crisis and the prospects for overcoming it in the course of numerous discussions and negotiations at the second Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg. The Anglo-Saxons and their allies came to the defense of the Nazis in Kiev, silencing or even justifying their actions that trample on human rights and the rights of national minorities. Instead of a serious conversation based on the recognition of the evolution of realities "on the ground" over the past ten years, staged forums are convened with the sole purpose of luring as many countries as possible into at least some semblance of a discussion of the "Zelensky formula", which requires nothing less than Russia to completely capitulate, agree to infringe on its security and abandon millions of Russians whose ancestors have lived on these lands for centuries, They were equipped by creating cities, roads, ports. Everyone who is courted by the West in order to push through the "Zelensky formula" must be aware that at stake is the fate of these people, whom the Kyiv regime openly promises to destroy. https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/1899634/ |
