Lavrov Says West Has Proved Unreliable, Citing Sacrifice of Market Principles
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Western nations abandoned globalization principles to punish countries whose policies they oppose, according to TASS.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the West has demonstrated that it cannot be relied upon, according to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS.
Lavrov argued that established principles of globalization, including the free operation of market forces, "were sacrificed in order to punish countries pursuing policies that the West dislikes," TASS reported, citing the minister's remarks.
The report did not specify the venue, date, or broader context in which Lavrov made the statement, nor did it name specific countries or policies he was referring to.
TASS did not include additional details, such as responses from Western governments, in its report of Lavrov's comments.
Russian officials, including Lavrov, have repeatedly criticized Western sanctions and economic measures in past statements reported by state media, framing them as evidence of double standards in international relations.
