.@SunjoyJ: We live in a troubled neighbourhood. We do not choose our friends or allies. But we do not go into war over it. What leads #Russia into this protracted war on #NATO expansion?

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

Sergey Lavrov: No country can strive to strengthen its #security at the expense of the security of others.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

Sergey Lavrov: Between the lie of not expanding #NATO & the events that started a year ago, there were many developments that one cannot overlook. There was no delivery on legally binding or written commitments.

Sergey Lavrov: You believe that the #USA has the right to declare a threat to its national interests, in Yugoslavia, #Iraq, Syria, ten thousands of miles away. You do not ask them any questions.

Sergey Lavrov: The West do not remember about the 1999 Serbia bombing; when #Biden, as Senator, spoke about his role in promoting this approach; or when #Iraq was ruined and Tony Blair said it was not a state.

Sergey Lavrov: Countries are being affected by the reaction of the West, not by what we are doing.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023 #RussiaUkraineWar

Sergey Lavrov: #Biden, Borrell, Stoltenberg have repeatedly stated that #Russia must be defeated on the battlefield--which they say is existential for the West in the context of global domination.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023 #RussiaUkraineWar

Sergey Lavrov: The global sufferings are related to the #sanctions, the policy of blackmail, and the diktat that the West is promoting. They are not related to what #Russia is doing.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023 #RussiaUkraineWar

Sergey Lavrov: Everyone asks when will #Russia negotiate, but the West wants Russia’s strategic defeat.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023 #RussiaUkraineWar

Sergey Lavrov: We have excellent relations with #India, as a special privileged partnership, and with #China as well. We are interested in these two great nations to be friends.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023 #RussiaUkraineWar

Sergey Lavrov: The war that was launched against us, using the great Ukrainian people, influenced the policy of #Russia, including our energy policy. Russia’s #energy policy will be oriented towards reliable credible partners like #India & #China.
