Breaking Russian news: Lavrov spoke at the United Nations General Assembly. Current events today.
The imposition of its own rules by the West could lead to a dangerous relapse into bloc politics and dividing lines between states.
This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking at the general political discussion of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly.
Sergei Lavrov's words were a continuation of the general discussion about the decline of the multipolar world, which in fact has already occurred, but Western leaders are still trying to preserve it, creating, as Sergei Lavrov says, a legal reality alternative to the United Nations.
They call it beautifully, to quote, it's a rule-based order.
Rule-based ordering is based on double standards.
When it is beneficial to the West, the right of peoples to self-determination is elevated to an absolute.
Of course, the main topic at the General Assembly is what is happening now in Afghanistan.
The Taliban even tried to speak at the General Assembly, although they are recognized as a terrorist organization both here at the UN and in Russia.
Sergei Lavrov said that there is still a long way to the recognition of the Taliban, but it is necessary to conduct a dialogue with them.
