Moscow, SANA- Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stressed that the West is waging an all-out war against his country under the pretext of Ukraine, noting that Washington and its allies are violating the rules of international law to impose their dominance on the international scene.
Lavrov’s remarks came on Thursday during a speech at the Digital International Relations Conference in Moscow.
Lavrov noted that the US and the West have worked to turn Ukraine into an anti-Russian state and their unconditional support for the regime in Kyiv has become the culmination of their anti-Moscow political approach, which began with banning speaking the Russian language, stopping Russian media, and killing independent Russian journalists, in addition to flooding Ukraine with deadly weapons and preparing for a war on the Donbass region.
The Russian Foreign Minister added that Moscow has many documents proving that Ukraine was preparing to manufacture and use biological weapons, stressing that the Russian special military operation in Ukraine aims to protect the Donbass region and will inevitably achieve its goals.
Lavrov pointed out that the West’s hybrid war against Russia covers a variety of areas, including the information space, explaining that the West uses media and websites to fake, distort and spread hatred against Russia, adding that Russia is taking steps to strengthen the digital sovereignty of the government and the Russian state as a whole.
Lavrov indicated that Russia is one of the leading countries in the digital sector, and that the current crisis opens up additional opportunities for development, just as in any other field.
He added that his country is open to cooperation in all fields, including digital and cybersecurity, and will always remain committed to combating cybercrime and working on creating a unified global system for controlling the information space.
