Blinken condemned Lavrovs manipulative speech at the OSCE I regret that our colleague, Lavrov, left the room without showing the courtesy to listen to us as we listened to him.
Of course, our Russian colleague very skillfully immerses listeners in a tsunami of misinformation.
I will not analyze in detail everything he said, but I will note only two points, Blinken reacted to the lies of the Russian minister.
In particular, he pointed to Lavrovs words about the indivisibility of security.
This is correct, but it cannot and should not be a oneway street, useful for Russia, but not for Ukraine.
Let us not deceive ourselves and let him or anyone else deceive us.
This is not about Russias security and never was about it.
This is about Putins imperial project to wipe Ukraine off the map.
Anthony BlinkeUS Secretary of State Against this background, the American Secretary of State pointed to the statements of the Russian dictator himself, made by him more than once in the direction of Ukraine.
He recalled how Putin said back in 2008 at the NATO summit that Ukraine is not a state, and later in 2014, after the illegal annexation of Crimea, he claimed that Russians and Ukrainians are one nation.Later in 2021, before the fullscale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, Putin once again rejected the idea of a separate Ukrainian people and nation, and a few months ago he again called Ukraine an artificial state.Thats what its about.
And so it has always been.
And that is why we must stand up to it.He also commented on the statement of the head of foreign affairs of the Russian aggressor state about the sovereign right of each member state to make its own choice.
This is exactly what it is about the sovereign right of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people to make their own choices about the future, and not to allow those choices to be made in and for Moscow.
Lavrov cynically accused the West of colonialismLavrov falsely stated that the Wests decision to push its neocolonial hegemony at any cost was embodied in the Ukrainian conflict, ignited to suppress Russia, inflicting a strategic defeat on it on the battlefield.And he called the OSCE a victim of the course to subjugate Europe to the United States with the help of EuroAtlantic concepts of security.We do not understand the goals pursued by the West, repeating aggressive rhetoric against Russia year after year.
They blame us for all the problems that exist in Europe and ignore the facts that show that it is the West that violates all the agreements that were reached after the end of the Cold War, Lavrov said manipulatively.
