Lavrov’s words that will anger Europe
The events in Ukraine were discussed at the high-level session held at the United Nations (UN) Security Council under the chairmanship of Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Lavrov, who was not in the room during Ukrainian President Volodomir Zelenskiy’s speech and spoke after Zelenskiy left, accused NATO of not listening to Moscow for years.
Lavrov: “If NATO had listened to the proposals of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, it could have avoided the crisis in Europe.” he said.
Stating that the West attempted to determine the fate of humanity according to its own needs after the Cold War, Lavrov said: “This led to the creation of global instability and new areas of tension.” he said.
Lavrov criticized the European Union’s statements on Ukraine’s membership that “if there was no war, membership would have happened immediately” and said: “Turkey and Serbia will still wait, but the Nazis will be able to jump the queue and join the side of The EU”. ” saying.
“RUSSIA COMMITS WAR CRIMES DAILY”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine violated the most fundamental principle of the UN Charter, which is to “respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations.”
Blinken claimed that Russia constantly uses its nuclear threat and said: “Russia commits war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine on a daily basis.” he said.
Blinken also accused Russia of using hunger as a weapon and, on the other hand, recalled that global food prices have fallen thanks to the Black Sea Grains Initiative, created thanks to Turkey and the UN.
Blinken said: “It is essentially unimaginable that a country would so disrespect the UN and its values and yet become a permanent member of the UN Security Council.” he said. (AA)
