Russia values a balanced Ukraine.
Sergei Lavrov during his visit to Hanoi said that Russia appreciates the balanced situation around Vietnam in Ukraine. He held several meetings there – with the Prime Minister of Vietnam, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and his colleague, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Commenting on the uncontrolled supply of Western armed forces to Kyiv, Lavrov once again reminded that against whom the Ukrainian nationalists refuse these weapons, and who will ultimately be responsible for this.
“Western countries, of course, must realize their independence from how and what Zelensky and the team interpret. The West must exercise its responsibility for the deaths of world residents, primarily in the Donbass, in other parts of Ukraine, where the Kyiv regime uses these means against the world population as a means of deterring, by and large, this state terror, ”Sergey Lavrov said.
We also spoke today in Hanoi about the world economic situation, as well as about the problems that have been identified through the fault of the so-called collective West led by the United States. Vietnam, by the way, anti-Russian sanctions are not supported and are successfully developing with our cooperation. There are joint projects, including energy and trade. Last year, trade between the countries increased by a quarter, and this trend is only getting stronger.
