🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview to the newspaper "Arguments and Facts" (October 21, 2024)
Key Points:
#BRICS
• BRICS epitomises the shifts that have long been underway in the global economy. New centres of economic growth are emerging, and alongside them comes financial influence, which in turn brings political influence.
• BRICS is a consortium where no single nation leads or is led, devoid of the bureaucratic machinery akin to that observed in Brussels, where EU officials impose decisions that contravene the will and interests of several member states, failing to align with the aspirations of voters across many countries.
• BRICS does not stand in opposition to any entity, nor does it orchestrate operations or initiate projects. BRICS is committed to enhancing the combined potential of its nations and devising collaborative strategies for harnessing these potentials for mutual benefit.
• What makes BRICS and other World Majority or Global East associations that do not include Western countries stand out, is that they are not created for the purpose of struggling or fighting with anyone. They are established to collectively benefit from their competitive advantages such as geographical location, shared history, cultural and humanitarian proximity <...>.
#USA
• The US is unwilling to relinquish the reins of power that they have held since World War II through the Bretton Woods institutions and through the role assigned to the US dollar in the international monetary system, even after free exchange of US dollars for gold had been cancelled.
• The key goal of the US ruling class is to make sure no one can undermine their dominance. This goal is illusory. The historical process is objectively heading in a different direction, and this has to be reckoned with.
• We are ready to interact with any administration voted in by the American people, but only if such a dialogue is mutually respectful, and both parties listen and hear what the other party has to say.
#Ukraine
• On multiple occasions, European leaders from Brussels have repeatedly made it clear that they must support Ukraine for as long as it takes, because Ukraine is fighting for the European values.
• It turns out that European leaders are still willing to uphold Nazi values, which is why denazification is not just a motto, but an objective of utmost importance.
#UN
• The United Nations is not a valiant knight expected to “charge in and extinguish the fire” upon witnessing injustice. The UN is an assembly of its member states, each with established rules, including the Security Council's veto rights. The United States has effectively exercised this right five times over the past year, blocking a resolution proposed by several countries, including Russia, demanding an immediate ceasefire. <...> Presently, the United States is taking every measure to avoid antagonising Israel.
• Nations such as India, Brazil, and African representatives should have long held permanent seats on the Security Council. This is essential to ensure representation of the World Majority.
#Finland#Sweden#NATO
• The zeal that the Finns and Swedes are showing in NATO, advocating for defeating Russia, is not only rooted in their historical instincts. They are also eager to show their Big Brothers in the North Atlantic Alliance that they have brought added value <...>.
• I am confident that reasonable people in Europe, who have learned the lessons taught by history, see this too, including in Finland and Sweden.
#Europe
• To reiterate, the so-called right-wing conservatives are loyal to their countries and their people. We will engage with anyone who approaches us with a proposal to talk, to seek common ground, and to think about how we can jointly make the lives of our citizens better.
#EurasianSecurity
• We suggest discussing the Eurasian continent-wide security architecture, emphasising the fact that its doors will be open to everyone, including countries from the West of the Eurasian continent.

Rusia expuso los enfoques fundamentales sobre las actividades de la #ONU y su reforma, destacando la necesidad de que la máxima autoridad de la organización siga de manera completa y exacta los principios establecidos en la Carta de la ONU.
Se llevó a cabo una reunión separada de Serguéi Ryabkov con Eduardo Escobar, en la que se discutieron aspectos específicos de la agenda bilateral.
Nous devons poursuivre ces efforts – à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur de cette enceinte.
Nous avons besoin de toutes les voix, de toutes les idées – et de tout le leadership des femmes et des filles du monde entier.
Et les hommes et les garçons doivent également prendre toute leur part, en faisant preuve de solidarité pour faire avancer l’égalité.
-- António Guterres, Secrétaire général des Nations Unies, 9 mars 2026

Il Consigliere della missione russa alle Nazioni Unite Boris Bondarev ha rassegnato le proprie dimissioni. Esemplificativa delle motivazioni alla base sua decisione è un’espressione utilizzata da Bondarev: “Non mi sono mai vergognato così tanto del mio Paese.”

La sessione urgente del Consiglio per i diritti umani delle Nazioni Unite si è conclusa con l’adozione, per “consenso”, di una risoluzione relativa alle vicende che stanno accadendo in Afghanistan.
I talebani vengono sollecitati a rispettare le norme vincolanti del diritto internazionale, la libertà di circolazione delle persone ed il loro diritto di abbandonare il Paese.
È assente, però, il riferimento a due elementi: la condanna dei talebani per le azioni commesse e la costituzione di una commissione d’inchiesta sulla vicenda (come, invece, accaduto nel caso della sessione speciale sulla Siria).
In tal senso, la rappresentante permanente dell’Austria ha dichiarato: “Qual è lo scopo di questa risoluzione, se non concordiamo nemmeno sulla condanna delle violazioni e degli abusi dei diritti umani?”
