According to the minister, the leading Western countries are trying to prevent the formation of a polycentric world.

“In short:“ we are liberals, we can do anything. ” In these aspirations, the West increasingly rarely recalls international law, and more and more obsessively discusses the “rule-based order,” Lavrov said.

Earlier, Lavrov and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Their negotiations lasted a little less than an hour.

The Russian minister during the meeting drew Pompeo’s attention to the unacceptability of US actions to deny Russian representatives visas for multilateral events within the UN.
