UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – Russian Overseas Minister Sergei Lavrov on Saturday informed the United Nations that it was mindless to disregard alternate options to Ukraine’s peace proposals, warning the West of the hazard of making an attempt to “fight to victory with a nuclear power.”
Addressing the U.N. Common Meeting, Lavrov took goal at backers of Ukraine who help Kyiv’s peace proposal.
Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. 9 months later Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy introduced a 10-point peace plan to carry a simply finish to the conflict on the idea of the founding U.N. Constitution and worldwide regulation. Moscow rejected the plan.
“I’m not going to talk here about the senselessness and the danger of the very idea of trying to fight to victory with a nuclear power, which is what Russia is,” Lavrov stated.
“Equally senseless, the Western backers of Kyiv swearing that there is no alternative to negotiations based on the infamous peace formula.”
Invoking Western allies’ plans within the Forties to “destroy” the Soviet Union, he accused the West of making an attempt to deal a “strategic defeat” to Russia in Ukraine.
“The current Anglo-Saxon strategists are not hiding their ideas. For now they do, it’s true, hope to defeat Russia using the illegitimate neo-Nazi Kyiv regime, but they’re already preparing Europe for it to also throw itself into this suicidal escapade,” Lavrov stated.
Russia can also be involved by the Israeli strike in Beirut that killed Hezbollah’s chief, and such “political killings” had change into commonplace, Lavrov stated.
