West Has Declared Total War On Russian World: Lavrov

KP

The West has declared a total war on Russia and the Russian world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday, TASS reported.

"The West has declared a total war on us, on the Russian World. Nobody makes any secret of this," Lavrov said at a meeting of the Council of the heads of Russia’s constituent territories at the Foreign Ministry.

Lavrov warned that the Western policy of "cancelling" Russia would continue for a long time.

"The culture of cancelling Russia and everything related with our country has reached a point of absurdity. Bans have been imposed on such classics as Tchaikovsky, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy and Pushkin. Persecution is underway against Russian culture and art workers. In general, one can be certain that this situation will last," Lavrov said.

"We must realize that it has exposed the West’s real attitude to the beautiful slogans that were put forward 30 years ago after the end of the Cold War, the calls for universal humanitarian values, for building a common European home from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Now we can see the real worth of these fine words," Lavrov said.

He stressed that Russia would certainly not agree to put up with this.

"In this situation there is a great demand for a concrete discussion on how we develop our cooperation, cooperation between our ministry and civil society, including at the level of regions," he added.
