Lavrov called the realization of the goals of the NWO a sacred duty

At a time when Europe has united to launch a strategic strike against Russia through the Kiev regime, the realization of the goals of the special military operation (SMO) is a sacred duty of the country. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on February 10.

"Today also, as well as 80 years ago, almost all of Europe again united and announced the need to inflict a strategic defeat on the Russian Federation by the hands of the Kiev regime. And again this is happening under Nazi banners, under Nazi symbols. So our sacred duty is to do everything to ensure that the goals of the special military operation were fully realized," he said at a ceremony of laying flowers at the memorial plaques of veterans of the Russian Foreign Ministry on the occasion of the Day of Diplomatic Worker.

At the same time, the Russian Foreign Minister stressed that in parallel with this task, Russia should work to ensure that the countries of the Global South and Global East develop an understanding of the need to protect the fundamental principles of the United Nations (UN) Charter. Lavrov reminded that it is the UN that ensures international equality and justice.

At the same time, the minister emphasized that it will not be easy to achieve the work of the principles set out in the international law document.

"The West does not want any equality. It is accustomed to 500-plus years of commanding, leading. Those failures, those miscalculations that we have seen in foreign policy, in military adventures of the West over the past 40-50 years have not taught it anything," Lavrov noted.

In addition, the Minister urged to preserve the memory and not to allow the West to rewrite the history of the Great Patriotic War.
