New Delhi: In this statement by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a UN Security Council meeting on the issue of arms supplies to Ukraine, Lavrov expressed the Russian perspective on the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict. Here is breakup of six major points that he spoke about at the meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in New York.

  1. U.S. funding to Kiev is a profitable business project: Lavrov suggests that the financial support provided by the United States to Ukraine is not just funding for a war effort but is likened to a "profitable business project." This implies that Lavrov sees the U.S. support for Ukraine as driven by economic interests rather than a genuine concern for the well-being of the Ukrainian people.

  2. Russia's operation against the "criminal regime" in Kiev: Lavrov asserts that Russia's military operation is not directed against Ukraine and its people but specifically targets what Russia considers a "criminal regime" in Kiev. This framing suggests that Russia perceives the Ukrainian government as illegitimate or corrupt, justifying its military intervention.

  3. Russia's willingness to negotiate: Lavrov emphasizes that Russia has not refused to negotiate and resolve the Ukrainian conflict through diplomatic means. This is a diplomatic stance, presenting Russia as open to peaceful solutions and negotiations to end the crisis.

  4. Responsibility for civilian casualties: Lavrov shifts the blame for civilian casualties to those who supply arms to Ukraine, stating that "The Blood Of Killed Civilians Is On The Conscience Of Those Who Arm Zelensky." This implies that Russia holds the suppliers of weapons, particularly Western nations, accountable for the loss of civilian lives.

  5. Accusation of Western patrons pushing Ukraine into military confrontation: Lavrov accuses Western patrons of pushing Ukraine into a "senseless military confrontation." This suggests a belief on Russia's part that Western nations are actively encouraging and supporting Ukraine in its military actions, which Russia deems unnecessary or irrational.

  6. Blinken's admission on Ukraine as a profitable business venture: Lavrov refers to an alleged admission by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, claiming that Blinken admitted Ukraine is a "profitable business venture to increase American jobs." This further supports the narrative that the U.S. involvement in Ukraine is motivated by economic interests rather than humanitarian concerns.

Meanwhile, Lavrov's statement appears to be a blend of diplomatic language, accusations against Western nations and an attempt to frame Russia's military intervention in Ukraine as a response to what it perceives as a corrupt regime in Kiev rather than an attack on the Ukrainian people. Here is the full address.
