Lavrov noted that Russia’s isolation from the rest of the world is “a figment of the imagination,” as it exists for those who flagrantly disregard the United Nations Charter, who committed acts of armed aggression and stained themselves with the crimes of colonialism.

Of course, in deep isolation are those who annually vote against or abstain from the General Assembly resolution on the fight against the glorification of Nazism, the head of Russian diplomacy pointed out.

He added that Western threats against Russia’s national security will be safely contained, the Foreign Ministry will do everything necessary to strengthen national sovereignty.

The Russian Army and Navy adequately met the challenge, for their part, our diplomatic service continues to do everything necessary to strengthen national sovereignty and neutralize external threats in advance, he added.

According to Lavrov, the West is waging a hybrid war against Russia, carrying out a new “crusade” in Eastern Europe, using “Ukrainian neo-Nazis” as an “advance detachment.”

However, it can be said that these plans failed despite the anti-Russia sentiments aroused by Washington, London and Brussels, we strengthen good-neighborly relations in the broadest sense of this concept with the majority of the world, he continued.

“We are all united by a commitment to the democratization of interstate communication and a categorical rejection of the world order based on US rules order with its blackmail and threats, tools of coercion that should not exist in 21st century diplomacy,” Lavrov summed up.
