The Russian Foreign Minister granted an interview to several Serbian media on Monday.

The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, rules out that the military operation in Ukraine has led to Russia's international isolation, and assures that his country maintains good relations with many countries in various parts of the world. "There is no isolation. From this those who have mentally and ideologically conformed to the 'inevitability' of the Western dictatorship on the world stage are speaking," the minister said during an interview with various Serbian media on Monday. Lavrov noted that more than 500 years of domination by The West have come to an end to be replaced with a new epoch of the formation of a multipolar world order.

 

 "We have a large number of partners in the Asia-Pacific region, in Asia in general, as well as in Africa and Latin America," the minister said.

 

 Lavrov said that Moscow maintains good relations with an overwhelming majority of organizations created by emerging countries, including the African Union, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, among others.

 The head of Russian diplomacy said that "there will always be an excuse" to impose new sanctions, because the objective is not to solve a specific problem, but to "stop the development of Russia" from a strategic and geopolitical point of view.

 

 "Caveman Russophobia"

 "Therefore, we are well aware of the ability of the West to search for a reason. The only thing that is striking at the moment is the outbreak of unprecedented caveman Russophobia, which, I would say, has been aroused in almost all Western countries. whose leaders are actively promoting it," Lavrov said.

 

 In reference to Russophobia, Lavrov declared that it is "impossible to arouse in a single day" these types of feelings, so he - he surmised - "carefully hid them". "Of course, we will draw the pertinent conclusions," he stressed.

Both the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine are a mandatory component of the agreements we seek," Lavrov stressed.

The meeting between the presidents of Ukraine and Russia will be necessary as soon as there is clarity on these key points, he stressed.
