FM Sergey Lavrov’s interview with the NTV network
Saint-Petersburg, June 16, 2022
To attain its strategic goal, the West, first, is ready to hurt its own citizens for the sake of its
geopolitical ambitions, and second, is forcing all others to act likewise through open blackmail, threats, ultimatums and other lowbrow methods and moves.
I hope that along with politicians who irresponsibly demand to supply Ukraine with whatever it wants, there are military people who realise what is at stake and understand the
risks involved.
We do not have a goal to become one of the poles of a multipolar world. We are just stating an objective reality. This world is developing objectively, all by itself. All the current “labours” of the West are aimed at “containing” this
objective historical process.
