MOSCOW, September 25. /TASS/. Russia will win the conflict unleashed by the West by proxy of Ukraine because Western countries understand no other language, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with TASS on the eve of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.

"The victory is needed. They do not understand any other language. This victory will be ours, we have no doubt. We have become truly united in the face of the war that the West unleashed against us by proxy of Ukraine," Lavrov said.

US merely exacerbates conflicts worldwide trying to act as ‘fix-it man’

The situation in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip merely confirms that the US as a "problem solver" only exacerbates conflicts across the world, Lavrov said.

"Wherever the West is getting involved as the main ‘fix-it man,’ pardon my slang, a crisis situation ensued, everything was getting much worse: hundreds of thousands of victims, devastation, socio-economic problems. There is not a single instance over the course of my active work on the international stage when the West’s interference resulted in anything positive. And now we are observing the similar situation with Ukraine and with the Palestinian-Israeli standoff," the top Russian diplomat stressed.

UN prefers to stay mum on attack on Kursk Region with Western arms

The UN leadership prefers not to mention the Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s borderline Kursk Region where the Kiev regime is attacking civilians with Western weapons, Russian Foreign Minister said.

"Now, with terrorist groups attacking the Kursk Region with modern Western weapons - residential blocks are simply being shelled there on a daily basis, houses, social facilities, civilians driving to safer locations. I have not heard anything from UN representatives in charge of human rights, including, of course, the secretary general," Lavrov noted.

NATO, EU ‘handlers’ do not trust Eastern Europe

Accroding to Lavrov, Eastern European countries must understand that their "masters" in NATO and the European Union do not trust them.

"Eastern European countries currently under the wing of NATO and the EU must realize their handlers’ attitude. They are not being trusted. They won’t be let anywhere near any significant international appointments," he said.

Countries shun dollar realizing West’s unreliability

Many countries, having realized the West’s unreliability, are trying to reduce their dependency on the dollar, Minister noted.

"I remember perfectly well how in the 90s, US emissaries at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank were repeating like a mantra not to be afraid of the dollar. The dollar is not the weapon of the United States. The dollar is a universal treasure, it is the blood system of the global economy, interdependency and so on. Where is all of this now? Now they are either running away from the dollar or those who got too deeply involved in that system are trying to gradually reduce their dependency," the top Russian diplomat said.

Glorifying Kiev regime’s crimes at UN essential for West

The West switched from dialogue to microphone diplomacy at the UN Security Council a long time ago, glorifying and whitewashing the Kiev regime’s crimes, Lavrov said.

"The West has shifted to microphone diplomacy," the top Russian diplomat noted. "It’s a must for it both in the Security Council and in other bodies to Ukrainize the agenda, to glorify Zelensky as the carrier of democratic, global values, and to whitewash the Nazi approaches of this regime, all of its crimes," Lavrov said.
