“Russia is almost accused of planning an attack on the countries of the Atlantic Alliance and the European Union,” says Lavrov. “Russia does not have such intentions and has never had them.”

Israel received a wipe from Lavrov. That country wants to “make the Middle East explode,” he said. “The illegal use of violence by Israel against Palestinians and the aggressive actions against Iran, Qatar, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq threaten to explode the entire Middle East.”
Lavrov emphasizes that Russia condemns the attack of the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas of 7 October 2023 on Israeli citizens. “However, there is no justification for the brutal murders of Palestinian citizens or for terrorist attacks,” he said. How the Israeli government occurs comes down to a “collective punishment” for the Palestinians.
According to him, there is also no justification for the annexation projects in the West Bank. “In reality, this is an attempted coup with the decisions of the UN to bury the establishment of a Palestinian state,” he said.
‘Warness against Russia’
In his speech, Lavrov also picked up the West several times. According to him, the West sabotages diplomacy with the reintroduction of sanctions against Iran because of the nuclear program. The fact that a Russian-Chinese proposal to postpone those sanctions in the UN Security Council has been rejected, “has the policies of the West to sabotage the pursuit of constructive solutions”.
He accused Western politicians of warlike against his country. According to him, there are politicians in NATO and the EU who “speak openly about preparations for an attack in our Kaliningrad area and other Russian areas,” said Lavrov.
According to Lavrov, the West is still in blame for the war in Ukraine, because the requirements of Russia for binding security guarantees would have been ignored. Lavrov also concluded a return to the former safety model in Europe after a possible end of the war in Ukraine. According to the 75 -year -old Russian, the model of Euro -Atlantic Safety – based on NATO, the EU and the organization for safety and cooperation in Europe (OSCE) – has since become obsolete.
