SERGEY LAVROV: “The situation in Ukraine is a graphic example of how desperately the ‘world hegemon’ is fighting to preserve its domination.

Ukraine is a tool in the hands of its American puppet masters.

Everyone understands that the future of the world order is at stake.

In fact, what is being decided in Ukraine and around it is whether the world order will be fair, democratic and polycentric, or a narrow group of states succeeds in imposing a unipolar model on the international community, that is, a neocolonial division of the world into those who regard themselves as ‘exceptional‘ and the rest, whose role is to do the will of the ‘chosen people.’

President of Russia Vladimir Putin has presented a convincing analysis of these events in his numerous statements and interviews.

Our choice in any situation is to hold talks with a view to finding a balance of lawful interests of all parties. I would like to emphasise the word ‘lawful.’

If the United States and its allies prefer to persist in their hopeless attempts to impose ‘ultimatums’ in the illusory hope of keeping hold on the slipping tools of their neocolonial hegemony, that’s their choice.

But Russia is ready for this as well.”
