While refraining from mentioning its war with Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Saturday attacked the US and the West as self-interested defenders of a fading international order in his speech to the UN General Assembly.
“The US and its subordinate Western collective are continuing to fuel conflicts which artificially divide humanity into hostile blocks and hamper the achievement of overall aims. They’re doing everything they can to prevent the formation of a genuine multipolar world order,” Lavrov said, adding, “They are trying to force the world to play according to their own self-centered rules,” he said. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a speech at the UN General Assembly on Saturday that the time was ripe for trust-building measures between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh, and that Moscow’s troops would help that.
Lavrov accused the West of trying to force themselves as mediators between the two countries, which he said was not needed.
“Yerevan and Baku actually did settle the situation,” Lavrov said. “The time has come for mutual trust-building. There are Russian troops who will certainly help this,” he said.
