🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s interview with Bosnian Serb television network ATV (Moscow, May 5, 2024)

Key talking points:

• We will not participate in any events that promote Zelensky’s peace formula in one way or another. This much has been clear to everyone for a long time. We are serious about being open to negotiations based on the reality.

• I am aware of <...> the French’ claim to a role in Europe and the world. It cannot be ruled out that Macron needs this “caveman Russophobia” to become Europe’s leader.

• What they [the West] want is to subdue the Serbs. <...> They believe that the Serbs are too restive and independent in their actions since they refused to join the sanctions against Russia.

• Everyone knows about the total chaos reigning in Kosovo. Still, our Western colleagues have no qualms casting Kosovo nothing short of a beacon of democracy. Democracy was something alien for this territory at all times.

• The West is trying to create an anti-Russia and an anti-China coalition. An anti-Russia coalition is their immediate goal, while an anti-China one is being knocked together in anticipation of the moment when China emerges as the main threat (that’s how they call it) and the main adversary.

• Relations between Russia and China are much firmer, stronger and more reliable than the military alliances of the past century. <...> Without this Russia-China link, the situation on the international stage would have been much worse.

• Europe is struggling with tremendous economic problems because the US is using it above all to support Ukraine and wage a war against Russia. Everyone is predicting the demise of Germany as an industrial miracle. That miracle rested on the cheap and reliable Russian pipeline gas.

• The Americans have destroyed the system of arms control and are unable to work honestly in the humanitarian and economic spheres. We believe that the Euro-Atlantic security model has discredited itself and failed. We are now speaking about creating a Eurasian system of security.

✍️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings to the participants in and guests of the International Anti-Fascist Forum of Cultural "Guitars in the Line-up (Formation)"

💬 I warmly welcome the organisers, participants and guests of the International Anti-Fascist Forum of Cultural Figures "Guitars in the Line-up (Formation)".

Your remarkable creative project has brought together those who reject the criminal ideas of Nazism. Today, your efforts are especially needed. Almost 80 years after the Great Victory, Nazism – an ideology of hatred, discrimination and suppression – has re-emerged in some European countries, above all in Ukraine.

In this context, it is viral for people from all walks of life, regardless of their country of residence, nationality or ethnic background, to come together to counter these dangerous trends that threaten all of humanity. It is gratifying to see that your forum is also contributing to these noble collective efforts.

I wish all the participants success and the audience a lively and joyful atmosphere and all the best.
