Lavrov before the ambassadors of 70 countries: The West's hybrid war against Russia at the hands of the Kiev regime has become a tradition

Russia – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirmed that the hybrid war against Russia at the hands of the Kiev regime has become a tradition on the part of the collective West.

Lavrov said during a round table on the Ukrainian file held in the presence of ambassadors from more than 70 countries at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry:

Cooperation with the Nazis has become a habit and a normal standard for the West, and now they intend to oblige all NATO members to help Ukraine according to a strict system for arming the Kiev regime so that the fight against Russia continues.
The Nazis in Kiev expressed their intention to replace the Russian language, and neglected the rights of the residents of Crimea and Donbass, who considered the 2014 coup in Kiev illegal.
The Nazi regime in Kiev described the defenders of legitimacy, and those who considered what happened in 2014 a coup, in Crimea and Donbass as terrorists and launched a war against them.
In 2015, we were able to stop the war that Kiev started against its own people, and the Minsk agreements proposed providing a special status to the Donbass and that they have their own law enforcement agencies. France’s promises in the Minsk agreements were false, and in a number of European countries, minorities want the same thing that the people of Donbass needed, to have their own language, culture, religion, and history.
President Poroshenko in 2015 announced the so-called “Operation Against Terrorism”, a military operation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces against the Donbass.
President Zelensky was elected in 2019, like Poroshenko in 2014, as a “peace president,” and you can judge for yourself what happened next.
We thank the countries that expressed their solidarity and participation in the “Day of Grief” after the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall. Terrorism has no nationality or religion, and is a global evil.
Ukraine has committed terrorism with the killing of the military journalist Tatarsky, the killing of Daria Dugina and others. We have approached Kiev regarding terrorist activities, and everyone connected to that, and this is consistent with the international anti-terrorism treaty and has obligations, and in accordance with the Foreign Ministry’s request to the Ukrainian authorities, we demand that Kiev implement these obligations. . We expect all countries to take this into consideration. In addition to approaching the Russian Foreign Ministry, the Public Prosecution sent letters to the United States and a number of countries requesting the provision of information regarding the terrorist attacks and the actions of the regime in Kiev and its sponsors.
Ukraine recognized the Tatar language in Crimea only after Crimea joined Russia, and after Russia recognized the main languages of Crimea: Tatar, Russian, and Ukrainian. For the first time, work began on building the Crimean Mosque, and all of this did not exist during the administration of the peninsula by Ukraine. Under the rule of Ukraine, all cultural activities and education in the Russian language were prohibited in the Crimean Peninsula.
In the last two years, Ukraine has voted against a project to “glorify Nazism.” We have been presenting this project since 2005, and not once has Ukraine voted in favor of this project, even though the majority voted in favor of this project, which speaks volumes.
Kiev harmed the reputation of United Nations institutions, as Kiev was allowed not to submit its human rights report.
Kiev demands that Russia be punished, while it does not want to submit a human rights report to UN institutions, and they refuse to acknowledge the problems they face from neo-Nazis. Last year, the Australian delegate announced that the efforts of the authorities in Kiev were “amazing,” despite the spread of footage of military brutality against the soldiers. Ukrainians, even on the battlefield, no one wants to demand that Ukraine investigate crimes against human rights.
I recall that what happened in the “Bucha play,” at the same moment when British television showed footage of the presence of bodies in Bucha, three days after the Russian army left, we demanded that any objective investigation be presented, and we demanded that even the names of the dead be presented, but we did not get anything.
Ukrainian citizens who oppose the regime in Kiev are arrested, and these citizens are persecuted based on their political position, which represents a violation of the political rights of citizens.
Kiev makes its decisions in accordance with the dictates of the leaders and based on the anti-Russian project, and it accomplishes everything that is asked of it from the West with the aim of “defeating Russia.”
The marches of the criminal Bandera (a collaborator with Hitler) in Ukraine take place every year as a national holiday under the watchful eye of the West.
Teaching and books in the Russian language are withdrawn from libraries, they do not burn them as Hitler did, but they turn them into recycling into stationery materials. There are laws prohibiting any events in Russian. Indeed, speaking the Russian language in public places can expose citizens to punishment and fines, and this happens in light of the Russian-speaking majority in Ukraine, and even the military speak Russian easier. Imagine banning the French, Italian, or German language in Switzerland, or abolishing English in the country. Ireland for example. It is the same situation…Russian language and culture are being discriminated against, and I remember that the laws pertaining to the Ukrainian language mentioned all other languages with a special status, but the situation was diminishing, and the European Union came to an agreement with Ukraine to keep the languages that are considered the languages of the Union outside the restriction laws. And they made an exception for them. All EU languages have an exception and a not bad situation in Ukrainian laws. As for the Russian language, there is a violation of human rights, minority rights, international treaties in this regard, and other laws that do not allow discrimination. But the European Union turns a blind eye to this.
Colleagues in Switzerland are preparing for a conference on the “Zelensky Peace Formula” conference, at a time when Switzerland has not only joined the sanctions against Russia, but has become one of the instigators of these sanctions. I met the Swiss Foreign Minister and told him: We cannot look at Switzerland as a neutral party on various issues as was always the case.
At the Swiss conference, it was required to bring together the largest number of countries, and they began to convince the countries that “it is not necessary to sign all the items. You can sign one or two items, or even not sign.” They want to get the largest number of countries in any way. They set their goal not as a final document, but rather to gather the largest number of countries and take a group photo with the largest number of representatives of the countries, so that this photo plays a role in supporting Zelensky.
We are always ready for honest dialogue, and we have nothing to hide. The reasons for the Russian military operation in Ukraine are clear. The confrontation with the West will continue as long as the West encourages the Ukrainian regime’s elimination of everything Russian, and its aggression towards Russia. We say to the West: You are pushing Ukraine towards disaster.
We do not see any document in which the West proves its right or its logic. At the beginning of the Russian military operation in Ukraine and before that, Western ideologues were saying: Let us accelerate Ukraine’s accession to NATO. Now we hear different statements regarding the collapse of Ukraine, and we must not allow the collapse of Ukraine because Russia “will immediately attack (NATO).” Now they say that we will not allow Russia to win over Ukraine under any circumstances.
Russian President Vladimir Putin denied all allegations regarding “Russia’s attack on the West.”
