Washington acts based on ad-hoc rules that violate international law, Sergey Lavrov said
Russia’s military action in Ukraine is meant to put an end to a US-dominated world order, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said. Washington is seeking supremacy by imposing ad-hoc rules and violating international law, he claimed, in an interview aired by Russian television on Monday.
“Our special military operation is meant to put an end to the unabashed expansion [of NATO] and the unabashed drive towards full domination of the US and its Western subjects on the world stage,” Lavrov told Rossiya 24 news channel.
“This domination is built on gross violations of international law and under some rules, which they are now hyping so much and which they make up on a case-by-case basis,” he added.
Russia is among the nations who would not submit to Washington’s will, the Russian diplomat added. It will only be part of an international community of equals and will not allow Western nations to ignore its legitimate security concerns, Lavrov said.
