For the first time in its history, Russia is battling the entire West without support, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, TASS reports.
"We have a lot to do. And the most important thing we need to do is to defeat our enemy. For the first time in its history, Russia is fighting against the entire West alone. We had allies during both World War I and World War II. Now we have no allies on the battlefield. So, we must rely only on ourselves, we must not lapse into or show weakness," Lavrov said at the Terra Scientia National Educational Youth Forum.
The Russian FM added that Western elites are openly showing their willingness to kill Russian soldiers.
According to Lavrov, “the Europeans seriously want to defeat us, and this, in my opinion, is confirmed every day.” He noted that the attitude towards this among European elites has become “almost self-evident.”
Also, the Russian FM drew attention to the fact that the West cannot give up the hegemony that it has enjoyed for the past five hundred years. Lavrov believes that this is especially clearly expressed in today’s Europe where they strive to subordinate everything to their will and do not want to take into account even pragmatic considerations.
