Lavrov: The West seeks to control energy resources and vital minerals.
In an article titled "The Impact of the World Economy on International Security" in the Kommersant newspaper, Russia's Foreign Minister said: Western countries are trying to control trade in strategic resources, including energy resources and vital minerals.
🔹 He added: Today we are witnessing a trend in which comprehensive and neutral commercial rules give way to block-based logic.
🔹 Lavrov continued to emphasize: "The dominance of the West on the trade routes is being destroyed. It is estimated that the developing economies in the Asia-Pacific region will experience economic growth of about five percent in 2026."
