“SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION” IN UKRAINE LIKELY MEANS END OF UNIPOLAR WORLD: LAVROV

Sultan of Oman Haitham bin Tariq Al Said received the Russian delegation led by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Wed 11 May 2022:

Russia’s foreign minister claimed on Wednesday that his country’s “special military operation” in Ukraine will lead to the end of Western world dominance.

“We hope and expect that the completion of our military operation after achieving all the goals set within its framework will contribute to stopping the West’s attempts to undermine international law, ignore and grossly violate the principles of the UN Charter, including the principle of sovereign equality of states, and will force the West to stop promoting the so-called unipolar world dominated by the United States and its allies,” the minister told a news conference in Muscat after a meeting with his Omani counterpart Sayyid Badr Albusaidi.

Lavrov said Russia does not want a war with Europe, but remarks by European politicians that Russia must be defeated at the battlefield are a cause of concern.

He argued that Moscow’s goals in Ukraine are to prevent the violation of rights of the Russian-speaking population in Donbas, and to prevent the West from creating military threats to Russia from the territory of Ukraine.

Asked about sanctions against Russia, Lavrov said the authorities know who to deal with them, and that if Russian energy resources are banned in Europe, “Russia has enough buyers” in other parts of the world.

On the possibility of a global good crisis due to the ongoing war, Lavrov said Russia has been cut from logistics by Western countries, and therefore the consequences should be addressed to those who made the relevant decisions. Both Russia and Ukraine are top exporters of crops such as wheat and sunflower oil.

“The problems, that you have just mentioned, were created solely by bans, illegal sanctions imposed by Western countries,” he stressed.
