✍️ Article by Sergey Lavrov, Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, "The law, the rights and the rules"
June 26, 2021
READ in full
🔹 The documents adopted at the Cornwall and Brussels summits cemented the rules-based world order concept as a counterweight to the universal principles of international law with the UN Charter as its primary source.
🔹 The beauty of these Western “rules” lies precisely in the fact that they lack any specific content. When someone acts against the will of the West, it immediately responds with a groundless claim that “the rules have been broken” (without bothering to present any evidence) and declares its “right to hold the perpetrators accountable.”
🔹 The West reserved its biggest words to the inner workings of the “non-democratic” countries and its commitment to reshape them to fit into the Western mould. This entails bringing society in compliance with the vision of democracy as preached by Washington and Brussels.
🔹 Clearheaded politicians in Europe and America realise that this uncompromising policy leads nowhere. Attempts to decide whose values are better, and whose are worse, seem pointless. Instead, the West must simply recognise that there are other ways to govern that may be different from the Western approaches, and accept and respect this as a given.
🔹 International relations are going through fundamental shifts that affect everyone without exception. Trying to predict where it will take us is impossible. Still, there is a question: messianic aspirations apart, what is the most effective form of government for coping with and removing threats that transcend borders and affect all people, no matter where they live?
🔹 By imposing the concept of a rules-based order, the West seeks to shift the conversation on key issues to the platforms of its liking, where no dissident voices can be herd. This is how it works: those who join these “appeals” or “partnerships” decide among themselves who violates their requirements in a given sphere, and the European Union imposes sanctions on those at fault. What a convenient method. They can indict and punish all by themselves without ever needing to turn to the UN Security Council.
🔹 With its contemptuous attitude towards other members of the international community, the West finds itself on the wrong side of history. Serious, self-respecting countries will never tolerate attempts to talk to them through ultimatums and will discuss any issues only on an equal footing.
🔹 Regardless of any ambitions and threats, our country remains committed to a sovereign and independent foreign policy, while also ready to offer a unifying agenda in international affairs with due account for the cultural and civilisational diversity in today’s world.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the 9th Moscow Conference on International Security, Moscow, June 24, 2021
🔷 Russia is a Eurasian and a Euro-Pacific power, a permanent member of the UN Security Council and one of the guarantors of the inviolability of the UN-centred international order. We are making a significant contribution to strengthening international security in all its dimensions. Suffice it to mention our efforts to defeat the international terrorists in Syria and to establish a broad political dialogue between the government and the opposition.
🔷 Unfortunately, in recent years, a number of Western capitals, led by Washington, have embarked on a path towards destroying the UN-centred security architecture, and are trying to replace the generally recognised norms of international law laid out in the UN Charter with some “rules-based order” that suits them.
🔷 Guided by the outdated Monroe Doctrine, the United States is trying to dictate how Latin America should live and by what standards it should abide. This explains the illegal trade embargo against Cuba. Just yesterday, the UN General Assembly, almost unanimously, voted again to lift this illegal embargo, while only two countries, including the United States, voted against it. We also see the continued pressure on Venezuela to remove its legally elected government, as well as attempts to destabilise Nicaragua.
🔷 NATO’s activities designed to contain Russia (the documents adopted at the bloc’s recent summit show that it is a consistent policy) are building up military and political tensions in Europe. Our constructive, substantial and concrete proposals aimed at reducing the military threat along the entire contact line between Russia and NATO have been on the table for nearly two years, but we have not received any response as yet. NATO does not want to interact at the military level. There’s this “democratic alliance” for you.
🔷 I would like to urge Kiev’s Western patrons once again to influence their Ukrainian wards and force them to honour their commitments and to stop their aggressive attack against Russian speakers and other ethnic minorities.
🔷 We believe that the main objective of further efforts on the bilateral Russia-US track should be the development of a new security equation that encompasses, without exception, all factors affecting strategic stability. I’m referring to nuclear and non-nuclear, offensive and defensive weapons.
🔷 We are working energetically on the adoption of a code of responsible conduct of states in the global cyberspace from the point of view of each country’s interests in military-political security. Concurrently, we are promoting the draft universal convention on fighting cybercrime.
🔷 We have submitted a detailed initiative to the OSCE aimed at returning it to its original purpose which is to provide a framework for cooperation based on the principle of indivisible security through mutually respectful dialogue and respect for the principle of consensus.
🔷 In order to effectively cut short the threats to international security, Russia remains open to the broadest possible cooperation and will continue to work to promote genuine multilateralism and the central coordinating role of the UN in international affairs. To this end, we will continue to closely cooperate with our allies and like-minded partners in the EAEU, the CSTO, the CIS, the SCO, BRICS, and other associations, and individual states in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
🔷 We are ready for a dialogue with our Western colleagues, but only if it’s based on equality, mutual respect and the search for a fair balance of interests rather than the ultimatums we keep hearing and which demand that Russia “change its ways” before the West even agrees to talk to us.

💬 President Vladimir Putin: Welcome to the 9th Moscow Conference on International Security.
Your representative forum is dedicated to the critical issues of the modern military-political agenda. Strengthening security on the planet and the sustainable development of our civilisation depend on their resolution and on the productive search for effective joint responses to common challenges.
However, unfortunately, geopolitical processes are becoming increasingly turbulent despite isolated positive signals. The erosion of international law continues as well. The attempts to use force to push through one’s own interests and to strengthen one’s own security at the expense of the security of others continue unabated

💬 President Vladimir Putin:
It was not enough for the enemy to take our land. It came to destroy our people and to turn the survivors into slaves without a national language, traditions of their forefathers or their culture.
A response to that hateful, ferocious evil was the spiritual unity, solidarity and mass heroism of the Soviet people. People’s belief in the triumph of justice and in our Victory had unfathomable power. In the name of liberating our Fatherland, they withstood all the trials and tribulations, sorrow, suffering, and death on the frontline and in the rear, rising to the heights of courage and sacrifice in the flames of battles and during debilitating labour at the factories and plants. And they attained a truly Great Victory.

🎙 Statement by Sergey Lavrov at the Opening Ceremony of the High-Level Policy Dialogue “ASEM at 25: Strengthening Asia-Europe Partnership in a Transforming World” (Moscow, 22 June 2021)
💬 On this day 80 years ago, Nazi Germany launched an invasion on our Motherland. Straining all forces and mobilizing all resources, our country played a decisive role in defeating the Third Reich and saving Europe and the rest of the world from the scourge of the brown plague. The longed-for victory, which was brought nearer by the close alliance within the anti-Hitler coalition, provided a basis for building the modern architecture of international law, including the United Nations, and paved the way for the peaceful and stable development of all humankind. This is our common heritage, which should be carefully preserved to prevent tragedies such as World War II in future.

💬 We are proud of the courage and steadfastness of the heroes of the Red Army and home front workers who not only defended the independence and dignity of our homeland, but also saved Europe and the world from enslavement. Despite attempts to rewrite the pages of the past that are being made today, the truth is that Soviet soldiers came to Germany not to take revenge on the Germans, but with a noble and great mission of liberation. We hold sacred the memory of the heroes who fought against Nazism. We remember with gratitude our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition, participants in the Resistance movement, and German anti-fascists who brought our common victory closer.

💬 We, President of the United States of America Joseph R. Biden and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, note the United States and Russia have demonstrated that, even in periods of tension, they are able to make progress on our shared goals of ensuring predictability in the strategic sphere, reducing the risk of armed conflicts and the threat of nuclear war.
The recent extension of the New START Treaty exemplifies our commitment to nuclear arms control. Today, we reaffirm the principle that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.
Consistent with these goals, the United States and Russia will embark together on an integrated bilateral Strategic Stability Dialogue in the near future that will be deliberate and robust. Through this Dialogue, we seek to lay the groundwork for future arms control and risk reduction measures.

🎙 Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the 36th Meeting of the Foreign Ministry’s Council of the Heads of Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation, Moscow, June 15, 2021
💬 Today we will be discussing the involvement of the Russian regions in the activities of international organisations. Our clear priority is to work in multilateral Eurasian associations. We have achieved certain results in this sphere. For example, interregional cooperation is developing within the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) with Russia’s leading role: a Programme for the Development of Interregional Cooperation and the Regulations of the SCO Member States’ Heads of Regions Forum have been drafted and adopted. The first Forum was held successfully under the chairmanship of the Chelyabinsk Region in October 2020. We are now preparing for a second meeting.

"About the Motherland"
What do weeping birches sing of,
A melody full of light and tears?
Of Motherland they sing, of Motherland only.
What do wintering birds long for
From beyond the cold granite borders?
For Motherland they long, for Motherland only.
In moments of sadness, in time of adversity
Who shall caress us and who shall save us?
Motherland, Motherland only.
In bitter frost whom shall we warm,
And in difficult time whom shall we support (take pity upon)?
Motherland, dear Motherland only.
When we depart for interstellar flight,
What do our earthly hearts sing of?
Of Motherland they sing, of Motherland only.
We live in the name of goodness and love,
And the best songs of yours and mine
Are of Motherland, of Motherland only.
Under scorching sun and in heavy snow
My thoughts and my prayers
Are always with Motherland,
With Motherland only.

💬 President Vladimir Putin: Russia Day symbolises our Fatherland’s contemporary development, as well as its centuries-old path, history, endeavours, victories & achievements.
Many generations of our ancestors created this immensely rich legacy. Their labour and military feats and their infinite devotion to our Motherland evoke respect and pride, a striving to be worthy of their heroic destinies, to preserve and assert the values that have been bequeathed to us and which now have tremendous significance for our entire movement forward.
We can see this in the achievements of today’s scientists, cultural workers, public activists and top-level professionals who are united by sincere love for their work and a desire to benefit our Motherland.

💬 Sergey Lavrov:
We have just signed a historic document ̶ the Agreement on the Foundations of Relations between the Russian Federation and Antigua and Barbuda. This treaty creates an additional ground to promote our relations following the document on repealing visa formalities for travel by the citizens of Russia and Antigua and Barbuda that we signed in June 2019. In other words, we now have a very solid base for expanding interstate relations in politics, trade, the economy and other fields and for maximising contacts between our citizens, including tourist, education and other exchanges.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Welcoming remarks by Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Vassily #Nebenzia at the concert of the «UN Music Chamber Society» on the occasion of the UN Russian Language Day
Please accept my cordial congratulations on the Day of the Russian Language – one of the 6 official languages of the United Nations!
On 6 June, birthday of an outstanding Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, the entire world praises the beauty and abundance of the Russian language.
Russian is the language of a great culture that brings together people and communities across the globe and, of course, at the United Nations.
This day also means a lot in terms of promoting multilingualism at the UN platform.
All of this underscores the international recognition of our culture, which rests upon the “great and mighty” Russian language as one of its key pillars.
Our wishes of creative success go to all participants of this event.
We also hope the concert will bring wonderful experience to the audience. Enjoy!

❗️ On May 11, 2021, Het Parool (the Netherlands) carried yet another article with a provocative headline, paraphrasing Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “To go for the Russian vaccine or not to go?” The writer claimed that Russia was pursuing a mercenary line in promoting its vaccine in Europe and beyond.
The Dutch journalists explain the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) lack of approval for the Russian vaccine by saying Russia has failed to present additional information and proof of the vaccine’s effectiveness. This is perplexing because The Lancet, a prestigious international medical journal, has published scientific articles on the results of three phases of the vaccine’s clinical trials. Meanwhile, Russia submitted all of the requested information to the EMA in March. In other words, it is delaying the approval of the Russian vaccine based on some vague pretense. We believe this is being done for political reasons.

🎙 Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting 🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦
The pandemic has strengthened negative trends in international relations, increasing the conflict potential and the risk of collapse of the strategic stability architecture. National egoism, a desire to ensure one’s domination at all costs and disregard for the interests of other countries are eroding the foundations of the multilateral system created after WWII. The cornerstone of this system is respect for international law, that is, the UN Charter, and not the so-called “rules” invented by our Western colleagues.
The number and complexity of the challenges to the international community and sustainable global development are growing. These are the threats of terrorism, transnational crime, including in the digital sphere, climate change and an expanding rift between the rich and the poor. These problems can only be addressed collectively.

💬 Our talks were traditionally warm, friendly and trust-based. Our good-neighbourly ties have a long history of fruitful interaction and solidarity in periods of crisis, including during World War II.
I would like to point out our mutual resolve to continue strengthening our ties in the spirit of the Treaty on Friendly Relations and Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which our presidents signed in Ulaanbaatar in September 2019.
This year we will celebrate a landmark event, the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between our countries. We have coordinated a large-scale plan of joint celebrations, and today we have noted that it is being implemented successfully.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s video address to the 6th International Conference "Russia and China: Cooperation in a New Era".
💬 The further development of strategic partnership with China is one of our top priorities.
This is a special year for us: 20 years ago our leaders met in Moscow to sign the Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship and Cooperation. By turning this new page in their relations, the parties demonstrated their resolve to pass their friendship down through the generations. The treaty formalised the previously applied political definition of bilateral relations as “a partnership of (…) equality and trust and strategic collaboration.” In other words, this truly historical international document has put on record the development of a new model of our interstate relations and their progress to a fundamentally new stage.

🇷🇺🇵🇹 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a press-conference following talks with Portuguese Foreign Minister Augusto Santos Silva.
💬 We focused on issues that are of concern in the context of Portugal’s EU Presidency. We described our view on developments in this area. We reaffirmed our willingness to normalise relations and restore dialogue but only based on equality, mutual respect and a balance of interests and without any unilateral requirements or preconditions.
We proceed from the premise that Russia and the EU are neighbours and bear joint responsibility for maintaining stability and security in our common geopolitical space.
A balance of interests and our common positions could facilitate efforts to develop a much-needed dialogue in countering the pandemic and other infectious diseases, developing digitisation, and making the transition to a green economy, and in various aspects dealing with a new technological mode.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a conference on relations between Russia and the European Union, Moscow, May 31, 2021.
💬 Thank you for inviting me to this conference on the situation between Russia and the European Union.
Our common European continent has been hit by an unprecedented crisis in confidence. New dividing lines are again being created in Europe; they are moving further East and becoming ever deeper, like trenches on the frontline. The outlook for a unifying agenda is extremely limited. The role of common European organisations is becoming devalued, and I am referring mainly to the OSCE and the Council of Europe. The mechanisms for structured cooperation and contact between Russia and the EU and NATO have been drained of all substance.
