🇨🇦Canadian Parliament gives standing ovation to the Nazi SS butcher. Yet another Trudeau's regime insult to the memory of Canada’s sons and daughters who fought Nazism in WWII.
🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions during a news conference following the High-Level Week of the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly
📍 New York, September 23, 2023
Key talking points:
🔹 We can see the firm position of the Global South and the World Majority on upholding their national interests. From this standpoint, they are unwilling to join anti-Russian sanctions and engage in various West-initiated campaigns.
🔹 We will continue cooperating within BRICS. There have also been separate meetings of BRICS, SCO, CSTO and CICA foreign ministers. We expect that all these regional associations will proactively support the UN reform process, giving it more sustainability and legitimacy.
🔹 The President of Ukraine and everyone who governs him in Washington, London, and Brussels firmly say that there is no other basis for peace other than the "Zelensky format." This "format" can be described in different ways, but it is unfeasible. Everyone is aware of this.
🔹 The main reason for us to withdraw from the grain deal and it ceasing to exist was that everything that had been promised to us turned out to be deception.
🔹 As for Nord Stream pipelines, this is yet another example (and I simply cannot list them all) of sweeping the most essential facts under the rug and plotting another lie for building their further geopolitical schemes.
🔹 We work with those who have respect for themselves and will never betray their national interests just because someone from Washington told them to do so. We know how American diplomats travel across the globe and prohibit meetings with our diplomats and Russian representatives in general.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's statement at the General Debate at the 78th session of the UN General Assembly
📍 New York, September 23, 2023
Key talking points:
🌐 Right in front of our eyes, there is a new world order being born.
❌ In 2021, our proposals to conclude agreements on mutual security guarantees in Europe without changing Ukraine's non-aligned status were rudely rejected. The West continued its ongoing militarisation of the Russophobic Kiev regime, which had been brought to power as a result of a bloody coup, and to use it to wage a hybrid war against our country.
• An attempt to extend the bloc's area of responsibility to the entire Eastern Hemisphere under the pernicious slogan of “indivisible security of the Euro-Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific region” has become a new dangerous manifestation of NATO expansionism.
• The logic of the historical progress is undeniable, the main trend of which being that states constituting the global majority are strengthening their sovereignty and defending their national interests, traditions, culture, and ways of life. They no longer want to live under anybody’s yoke; they want to be friends and trade with each other, but also with the rest of the world – only on an equal footing and for mutual benefit. Associations such as #BRICS and the #SCO are on the rise.
❗️ Perhaps for the first time since 1945, when the UN was established, there is now a chance for genuine democratisation of global affairs.
• It is time to reform the existing global governance architecture, which has long been failing to meet the needs of our time. <...> The US & its allies should abandon their artificial restraints on the redistribution of voting quotas in the IMF & the World Bank.
🇺🇳 It is time to look at fairer methods of making up the UN Secretariat. The criteria that have been in place for many years do not reflect the actual influence of states in global affairs & artificially ensure the excessive dominance of citizens of NATO & EU countries.
