Посольство России в Афганистане / سفارت روسیه در افغانستان

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview to the TV BRICS international media network (Moscow, February 9, 2026) Read in full Key talking points • The global arena is undergoing a transformation that began some time ago with the objective transition toward a multipolar world order. This is neither the bipolarity of the Soviet-American era with the Warsaw Pact and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, nor the unipolarity that emerged after the Soviet Union’s collapse. <...> Multiple centres of rapid economic growth, power, and financial and political influence have thus emerged. • It is equally important that we develop action plans tailored for each partner country covering trade and economic cooperation, investment, scientific collaboration, and coordinated activity on the international stage, including at the United Nations and other organisations, based on agreements reached between presidents and prime ministers. Particular attention is devoted to #CIS, #EAEU, #CSTO, and the post-Soviet space at large. This day-to-day work relies on long-term planning and delivers tangible mutual benefits to both Russia and its partners. • Multiple centres of rapid economic growth, power, and financial and political influence have thus emerged. The world is being reshaped through competition. The West is reluctant to relinquish its formerly dominant positions. • Safeguarding security demands sustained action to ensure that the Nazi state established on our borders in Ukraine – and supported by the West as a vehicle for renewed confrontation – cannot continue to exist in its present form. Nazi foundations must be eliminated. We will ensure, and I have no doubt about it, our own security interests, by preventing the deployment on Ukrainian territory of any weapons threatening us, and, second, by guaranteeing reliable and full protection for the rights of Russian and Russian-speaking people, who have been living in Crimea, Donbass and Novorossiya for centuries, and whom the Kiev regime that came to power after a coup declared subhuman “species” and “terrorists” and unleashed a civil war against. • Russia chaired#BRICS in 2024. At that time, a summit was held in Kazan, and a number of our initiatives were put into action: alternative payment platforms, payment mechanisms in national currencies, the creation of reinsurance opportunities for trade within BRICS and between the association and its partners, the creation of a grain exchange, and a new investment platform. All this is not to spite anyone, especially the United States. This is due to the fact that the United States seeks to bring all processes in the areas I mentioned under its strict control and demands unilateral concessions. Without giving up contacts with them, to the extent that they are willing to engage on a mutually beneficial basis, we are interested, together with our BRICS partners, in creating an architecture that will not be subject to the illegal actions of one or another player from the Western flank. • The Greater Eurasian Partnership was bound to appear on the agenda. Many years ago, at the 2015 Russia – #ASEAN Summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested this term which is based on an objective trend of Eurasia becoming the biggest, richest and fastest-growing continent, especially its Pacific part. It is the most heavily-populated continent which, importantly, has seen several great civilisations emerge and continue to exist – the Chinese, Indian, Arab, Persian and Russian civilisations. ☝️ It is for a reason that our initiative on building a common Eurasian security architecture, set forward by President Putin in 2024, is gaining momentum. It is increasingly attracting interest.

During this period, the Council held a total of 22 meetings and 11 consultations. A broad range of conflict situations across nearly all regions of the world, as well as other pressing challenges to international peace and security, were considered. Russia’s Presidency reaffirmed our country’s strong authority as a founding member of the UN and a permanent member of its Security Council. The Russian Side made every effort to ensure the Council’s effective and result-oriented work. We will continue to work to ensure that the Council remains an effective tool for coordinating efforts to find collective responses to threats to international peace and security. #KievRegimeCrimes The Kiev neo-Nazi regime continues to attack civilian targets, terrorising the civilians in Russia. Over the past week, more than 70 Russian citizens suffered in artillery and drone strikes — 8 were killed and 63 injured, including 4 children. The brutal practice of deliberately targeting civilians by the Ukrainian neo-Nazis has been reported in all populated areas along the front line. #Estonia#Baltic#Vandalism Moscow is outraged by reports of yet another act of state vandalism in Estonia, this time against the memory of Soviet soldiers buried in the town of Loksa. In a profoundly disrespectful act, the remains of sailors from the destroyer Karl Marx and other Soviet soldiers who died fighting the Nazis between 1941 and 1945 have been exhumed using an excavator. Russia strongly condemns the immoral and criminal campaign being waged in Estonia to desecrate the remains of fallen anti-Nazi fighters. We reiterate that the destruction, damage, or desecration of war graves, even beyond Russia’s borders, is a criminal offence under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. #UNESCO On November 6 this year, the UNESCO General Conference, currently being held in Samarkand, elected the Organisation’s new Director-General – the renowned scholar and Egyptologist, former Egyptian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Khaled Ahmed El-Enany – for the term from 2025 to 2029. We welcome this decision. We are encouraged by the new Director-General’s pragmatic and constructive approach. #Cambodia#Thailand#ASEAN We welcome the signing of a joint declaration to settle the border conflict by Cambodia and Thailand at the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur on October 26. We remain confident that the arrangements arrived at with the assistance of Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairship will help overcome existing differences peacefully, establish a close bilateral dialogue, and ensure that the normalised situation will last long and remain durable. We believe many territorial disputes around the world are a legacy of Western colonial policy. Considering the worsening situation in the Asia-Pacific region, it is important to act in the spirit of unity and solidarity which is a hallmark of ASEAN.

🎙Statement by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during the UN Security Council meeting on multilateral cooperation in the interest of a more just, democratic and sustainable world order (New York, July 16, 2024) 💬 The actions of the US and its allies are hindering international cooperation and the creation of a more just world. They have taken countries and regions hostage, prevent nations from realising their sovereign rights declared in the UN Charter <...> I am confident that this situation can be changed if there is good will, of course. To stop the implementation of a negative scenario, we would like to propose to discuss a number of steps towards restoring trust and stabilising the international situation. 1. The root causes of the ongoing crisis in Europe should be eliminated once and for all. The conditions for restoring stable peace in Ukraine have been put forth by President of Russia Vladimir Putin. A political and diplomatic settlement should be complemented with practical steps, to be taken in the West and the Euro-Atlantic community, to remove threats to the Russian Federation. The coordination of mutual guarantees and agreements should be based on the recognition of the new geostrategic realities on the Eurasian continent, where a continental architecture of really equal and indivisible security is taking shape. Europe risks lagging behind this objective historical process. We are ready to discuss a balance of interests. 2. The restoration of the regional and global balance of forces should be accompanied with active efforts to eliminate injustices in the global economy. There must be no monopoly in monetary and financial regulation, trade and technologies, by definition. <...> 3. Major fundamental changes are necessary in other institutes of global governance if we want them to work to the benefit of all. This primarily concerns the United Nations Organisation, which remains the embodiment of multilateralism against all the odds, with unique and universal legitimacy and universally recognised broad competencies. An important step towards the restoration of the UN’s effectiveness would be the reconfirmation by all Member States of their commitment to the principles of the UN Charter, not selectively but in their entirety and as a whole. <...> 4. Regional associations have practical significance for the development of multipolarity, including the #CIS, the #CSTO, the #EAEU, #ASEAN, the Gulf Cooperation Council (#GCC), the Arab League, the African Union and #CELAC. <...>. *** ❗️It depends on member countries alone whether our world will be diverse and equitable. The Charter of our Organisation is our foothold. 👉Read in full

🇷🇺🇨🇳 On May 20, FM Sergey Lavrovmet with Foreign Minister of the People’s Republic of China Wang Yi on the sidelines of the SCO Council of Foreign Ministers meeting in Astana. <...> The Ministers highlighted the critical significance of highest-level engagements in advancing the deepening of comprehensive partnership relations and strategic interaction between both nations. They delved into the substantive discussion regarding the execution of agreements made during the Beijing summit, along with addressing various other topics on the bilateral agenda. They also exchanged opinions on the current status and future prospects of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. The foreign ministers of Russia and China acknowledged the joint efforts of member states in upholding peace and stability in Eurasia. They also highlighted the increasing influence of the Organisation on global and regional affairs. 🤝 The Ministers reaffirmed their dedication to enhancing mutual coordination within the #UN, its Security Council, as well as the #SCO, #BRICS, the #G20, #APEC and other key international organisations and dialogue platforms. Various pressing issues were addressed, including the Middle East peace process, developments in the Red Sea region, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula. <...> Sergey Lavrov thanked the Chinese partners for their well-balanced stance on resolving the Ukrainian crisis and appreciated Chinese President Xi Jinping’s proposal to convene a peace conference with an equal participation by Russia and Ukraine, considering Moscow’s legitimate security interests and the current situation. 🌏 There was a thorough discussion regarding the situation in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly concerning the increased provocative actions by the United States and its allies. These actions aim to involve specific Asia-Pacific nations in narrow-bloc arrangements, undermining the #ASEAN-centric security framework and deploying destabilising weapon systems in the region.
