/ world today news/ Lavrov: If Ukraine stops hostilities, it will save hundreds of thousands of people
On Monday, January 22, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov took part in a meeting of the UN Security Council on Ukraine, convened at the initiative of Moscow. It came two days after Swiss President Viola Amherd spoke of preparations to hold a peace conference “as soon as possible”.
Coincidence? Or is there a direct connection? Has the West really begun to change its attitude towards Russia? The answers to these questions became clear after the meeting of the UN Security Council at the ministerial level. The KP correspondent is in New York with the delegation of Russian diplomats.
DIPLOMACY WITH A LOOK AT PICASSO
In an interview with the Schweiz am Wochenende newspaper, Amherd said: “We cannot expect that after the summit we will have a ready peace plan. But if we can use the conference to start the peace process, we will have already achieved a lot. The President of Switzerland emphasized that “together with others” now “search contact” with Russia.
But the fact that nothing has changed in the West’s attitude towards Moscow was confirmed by diplomats from hostile countries with their statements in the UN Security Council on Ukraine.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken ignored that Security Council, leaving the day before for a week-long African tour. Apparently, in this way, Washington’s foreign policy priorities at the moment have been defined as clearly as possible…
The members of the SB entered the hall, at the entrance of which the priceless Guernica tapestry by Pablo Picasso hangs in a place of honor, showing with all their appearance that they are “going into the eye of the storm”. By the way, in 2022, the Rockefeller family restored the famous tapestry and put it back on the wall of the United Nations. Why Rockefeller? It’s just that they are the ones who actually own this Picasso work. And it was handed over to the Security Council for “temporary use”.
FAILURE ON THE BATTLEFIELD
At the meeting, Sergey Lavrov emphasized: Russia has never refused to negotiate and resolve the Ukrainian conflict through diplomatic channels. But the West does not want peace in Ukraine. Moreover, our minister is sure that there are no Ukrainian interests in the military conflict with Russia, only the interests of the West. The foreign minister also advised Western diplomats to listen to Russia’s position on resolving the conflict “while there is still time”.
„What if Ukraine stops fighting?’ – Lavrov asked the West an uncomfortable question and answered himself: “They will save their lives by hundreds of thousands of those who the Kyiv authorities are trying to catch today as cattle on the streets, in bars, in churches and as cannon fodder, will definitely throw themselves to die for Western geopolitical interests and, as they say, democratic values’.
The minister called the state of the regime in Kyiv “agony”. In this agony, with Western weapons, merciless attacks are carried out against civilian targets in Russia.
„The reality is that despite the complete failure of the Ukrainian armed forces on the battlefield, the Western patrons of the Kyiv regime continue to push it with maniacal persistence to continue the senseless military confrontation. concluded the head of Russian diplomacy.

REFUSAL FROM THE “GRANDPARENT” SYSTEM
After the Security Council meeting with Lavrov in the UN skyscraper overlooking the East River, the so-called “bilateral negotiations” began. In two days, our minister will meet with representatives of Indonesia, Lebanon, Iran, Turkey, Algeria, Switzerland, Palestine, Jordan and possibly France. It is about the “isolation of Russia” that the West dreams of.
Lavrov will talk privately with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. The other day the Secretary General hit the world media with his revelations from Davos that people around the world are losing faith in financial and economic systems, in their own governments. But the Secretary General is convinced that “we will be able to establish a new multipolar international order with new possibilities.”
Obviously, Guterres will talk with Lavrov about a new international order, in which the rules of the global game, invented by the USA in the second half of the last century, will no longer be perceived as axioms. “We cannot guarantee the future of our grandchildren based on a system built for our grandparents.”Guterres began to make unusually bold statements for the UN Secretary General.
97 PERCENT ALCOHOL
By the way, at the headquarters of the United Nations, the book “No comment – do not quote me” continues to be animatedly discussed. Its author, Talif Dean, has collected informal statements by politicians and diplomats at the United Nations. And the word, as you know, is not a sparrow to fly away.
In the closed “UN club”, which includes only the cream of world diplomacy, Dean’s revelations caused a “wow effect”. Also, there is no doubting the authenticity of what was written, Dean did work at the UN secretariat after all.
The author does not name many names, but the quotes speak for themselves. For example, Dean recounted how a former U.S. representative expressed the “American” definition of diplomacy: “97 percent alcohol, 2 percent protocol, and 1 percent geritol (a multivitamin drink needed to liven up negotiations).”
And in one of the interviews at the UN, the deputy prime minister of a South Asian country, according to Dean, was asked to name the leading publications of his country. “We don’t have leading newspapers because they all lead in the wrong direction,” he replied.
At headquarters, they still remember Trump, who, while rehearsing a speech, asked an aide: how is the leader of the DPRK related to the United Nations? Trump argued the question in the following way: “Isn’t his name Kim Jong Un?”
Trump, by the way, promised the day before to resolve the Ukrainian conflict even before his inauguration…
