What can stop the West from obsessing over defeating Russia — MFA

Western countries continue to attempt to inflict strategic defeat on Russia, because life does not teach them anything, but the truth is on the side of the Russian Federation. This was stated by the director of the Department of International Organizations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Kirill Logvinov, speaking at the Yalta International Forum.

"Of course, the West will stop at nothing. < Indeed, initially [the West] had a task, and it still stands, to destroy our country, make our life unbearable, so that you and I would not gather, not come to international forums, so that we would be isolated, and so on. The problem is that the West does not teach us anything at this stage, so the truth is on our side, but it is quite difficult to say what can stop the Western minority from the obsession of inflicting a strategic defeat on us," he said at the plenary session "The Crimean Spring as an impetus for the formation of a Polycentric World: Stability Architecture and Nuclear a threat. Forms and methods of settlement of the problem of the rights of national minorities".

Logvinov pointed out that now in the states of Western Europe there is a difficult economic situation, and according to the decision of the Western authorities, the population of these countries does not have access to alternative sources of information.

"We now understand why, even before the start of the special military operation, the population of Western European countries was disconnected from alternative sources of information, including Russian, but not only Russian. Currently, there are no alternative sources of information in Western Europe. That is, this is exactly what is being done in order to zombify the population in order to continue to impose their ideas about life, about what is happening in the world. It is clear that this will not end well for them," he said, quoted by TASS.

The diplomat stressed that the work to counter such actions by the West will not be easy and will require consolidation of efforts. Logvinov noted that it is also necessary to help representatives of those countries that are still hesitating under the influence of Western pressure, using economic blackmail and other methods to see a holistic picture of what is happening in the world.

The Yalta International Forum — 2025 is being held in Moscow at the President Hotel from November 6 to 7.
