Russia Truth

Lavrov has told a press conference that the institutions which should have served as a platform for dialogue are now subordinated to the interests of the US, which in turn prevents a frank conversation between the parties.

Speaking at an annual press conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed the current situation in Ukraine shows how the US uses illegitimate methods to ensure world dominance. He said Washington had also ruined the fruits of the Western model, such as the free market and presumption of innocence.

Answering a question about the words of 2022, Russian FM named the word victory as the one that brings hope and that the world needs to hear. He also added that those who expected the word negotiations do not really want it and just manipulate it to prolong the conflict.
