The foreign minister is setting out Moscow’s position on Ukraine, global security, and the emerging multipolar world order
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is addressing the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York, setting out Moscow’s position on global security and the emerging multipolar world order.
Lavrov arrived in New York earlier this week for a diplomatic marathon on the sidelines of the gathering, holding talks with senior officials from around the globe, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi, and many others.
His General Assembly address follows a heated UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine earlier in the week, when he reiterated Moscow’s readiness for negotiations but rejected calls to halt military operations during talks, arguing that a pause would allow Kiev to regroup and rearm.
He added that the conflict has deeper roots in NATO expansion, the failure of the Minsk agreements, and the rejection of Russia’s security proposals to the US and NATO in 2021.
