Russian abroad Minister Sergei Lavrow presented Moscow's imagination of relations with increasingly aggressive NATO, US president Donald Trump's administration and safety architecture in Eurasia.
Lavrow addressed these and another topics at the global safety conference in Minsk, Belarus on Tuesday.
The most crucial conclusions of his speech are:
Russia-NATO relations
Moscow’repeatedly said that she had no intention of attacking any of the current NATO and European Union associate States" – emphasized Lavrow.
He added that Russia is ready to give authoritative guarantees in this respect as part of the future safety architecture in Eurasia.
According to the Minister for abroad Affairs, EU leaders are scrupulously avoiding these discussions, seeking alternatively to "security guarantees for Russia, not Russia".
Jurov claimed that the West is openly preparing for "New large European War" against Russia and Belarus' key ally. He stated that in most European NATO associate States militarisation is ongoing.
"The NATO expansion did not halt for a moment, despite the assurances made to russian leaders that they would not decision an inch to the east," he said, accusing the West of pursuing its "global dominance" despite the beginning of a fresh era.
Western military bloc is trying to get a base all the way to the Asia-Pacific region, with the aim of stopping China, North Korea and Russia," said Lavrow.
Russia-US Dialogue
Russia needs ‘guarantees’, that the possible summit of president Vladimir Putin with his American counterpart Donald Trump "will deliver concrete results" said the Minister for abroad Affairs.
Preliminary discussions on the Budapest gathering in Hungary began after a telephone conversation between both presidents at the beginning of this month.
Last week Trump explained that he was not planning talks in the close future due to the fact that he wanted to make certain that it would not be ‘time loss’ in the context of the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.
On Sunday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Pieskov said likewise that both Moscow and Washington must execute a crucial amount "Preliminary work before negotiations can be held at the highest level".
Moscow hopes that the president of the United States "really wants a unchangeable peace," said Lavrow.
He expressed disbelief towards the apparent change in Trump's rhetoric in fresh days erstwhile the US president called for an immediate ceasefire on the current front lines.
Moscow rejected this scenario, insisting on first addressing the underlying causes of the conflict in Ukraine.
Control of arms
Moscow is waiting for Washington's authoritative consequence to Putin's proposal to extend the main restrictions of the fresh START Treaty – the only remaining arms control agreement between Russia and the US – 1 year after it expires on February 5, 2026," Lavrow said.
The agreement in force since 2011 limits both signatories to no more than 1550 strategical atomic warheads deployed.
At the beginning of this month, Trump defined the proposed extension as "Good idea".
However, it is not possible to extend the agreement beyond the suggested period of 1 year, explained the Russian abroad Minister. Moscow's proposal is simply a motion of goodwill to give Russia and the United States adequate time to scope a fresh agreement, he said.
To accomplish that, "a radically different atmosphere is needed in Russian-American relations" He argued, adding that any advancement has been made in restoring dialog in fresh months, although there is inactive much to be done.
The function of Eurasia
"Eurasia is now the geopolitical centre of the emerging multipolar world" said Lavrow in Minsk.
In order to minimise the hazard of conflict in Eurasia, a fresh safety architecture is needed, providing safety guarantees for all states," he suggested.
NATO and the EU are actively trying to undermine the establishment of this structure, at all costs seeking to transform Eurasia into their own ‘lenno’ said the Minister for abroad Affairs.
