Sergej Lavrov speaks and the boycott begins. Yesterday morning, the Russian Foreign Minister addressed a recorded video message at the Disarmament Conference in Geneva, Switzerland. According to him, he was not present due to the sanctions imposed by the EU on Russia. Not even the time to start the speech that ambassadors, diplomatic delegations, including Ukraine and several Western countries, journalists and TV operators got up and left in protest against Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Putin’s minister addressed empty seats in a huge hall and repeated Kremlin propaganda to them: “We are working to prevent the emergence of nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The time has come to bring Americans home too and completely dismantle the connected infrastructure in Europe. The neo-Nazi government that controls Kiev is not what the Ukrainian people represent.” According to Lavrov, the West has yet to demonstrate its willingness to give Russia long-term security guarantees by preventing NATO expansion and withdrawing US atomic weapons from the The Russian Federation also demands the abrogation of the Bucharest Declaration establishing the entry of Ukraine and Georgia into the Atlantic Alliance.
