Anti -Russian steps do not find support from the vast majority of the Global South states, all those countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America, which conduct an independent foreign policy and are guided primarily by national interests.
This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a meeting of the Business Council at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
The minister noted that the “collective West”, led by the United States, seeks to inflict a strategic defeat, restrain its development and discard it to the side of the international life.
“They talk about this directly, without hiding anything. It is clear that a real hybrid war is unleashed against us. One of its most important” fronts “is taking place just in the field of economics,” the minister continued.
According to him, a whole heap of measures was brought down to the Russian Federation aimed at frank discrimination of Russian economic operators.
“blackmail our traditional foreign partners, launched a large-scale information campaign to discredit Russia as a trade and investment counterparty. Moreover, they tell everyone that they will undermine the Russian economy and it will be uncompetitive,” Lavrov noted, calling such manifestations “prohibitive cynicism.”
At the same time, the head of the department continued, “the use of the United States and its satellites of neocolonial practices seriously undermined confidence in globalization according to the American model.”
According to him, the world majority multiply claims to the efficiency and improperness of international financial institutions controlled from Washington and interaction formats.
“The understanding is also strengthened that no one is safe from state banditry from the” collective West “., – continued the head of the diplomatic department.
Therefore, not only Russia, but also many other countries actively use alternative currencies and payment platforms in external trading calculations, international transport corridors are created, production and dosage chains, resistant attempts by unfriendly states to prevent the implementations of mutually beneficial projects, and the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry concluded .
