lavrov is very articulate and clear in his communication... i especially liked this paragraph, but the one following it is also excellent..

"Lavrov accused Western countries of selectively citing the UN Charter, focusing on territorial integrity (Article 2, paragraph 4) while ignoring the right to self-determination (Article 1, paragraph 2) and respect for human rights (Article 1, paragraph 3). This, he said, is a form of “manipulation and double standards”.

thanks for the article..

"Territorial integrity" applied to Ukrainian regime' demands is yet another variety of "land without people for people who want the land". As with Palestine and Palestinians, people if Donbass or Crimea are being dehumanized, ignored, dismissed and finally physically killed, to free the "territory" that Ukrainian regime considers belonging to some imaginary "Ukraine" without Russian trace. Like "Israel" without "Arabs".

Israeli thugs "rabbis" and IDF commandos instruct and lead Azov fascists in Ukraine.

In turn, Ukrainian fascists serve in the IDF killing people in Gaza.

RIP peace in Ukraine. Don't think Trump's campaign pledge of peace was anything other than bullshit

I agree with Lavrov. This is why the calls between tRump and Putin are not successful. I'd bet that the US wants to call the shots. Putin won't have that.

What Russia wants it is simple: total rendition under his demmands. We can give another name, but is simply this. They will get it of course.

The biggest criminals in Germany and the government that is enabling a genocide, their business sector leaders that are supplying it, their judges and police that are falsely applying the law to persecute people who are trying to stop the genocide; and the many people in the public that are cheering it. Genocide is no ordinary crime: it's a crime against humanity. The worst of the worst crime.
