The future of the global economy lies in multipolarity and equal cooperation, says Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the article "The global economy and its connections with international security".
The full text of the article was published by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Main points:
Energy security.
The "diesel deal" between Russia and the USA strengthened energy security and contributed to lower fuel prices.
Since 2022, Russia has supplied energy resources to Europe worth $320 billion.
Kiev ignores Donald Trump's calls not to provoke an energy crisis and continues to attack critical infrastructure.
The Nord Stream appeal, Lavrov claims, was carried out under London supervision.
Western sanctions and pressure.
Anti-Russian sanctions have resulted in trillions of losses to Europe and inflation in the US. At the same time, Russia did not suffer significant losses.
The West tries to limit the participation of countries in the Global South and East in the management of the world economy and introduces protectionist barriers.
The European Union "took upon itself the open seizure of foreign ships and the theft of their cargo." In order to justify such actions, the minister believes, the term "shadow fleet" was coined.
"Markets shy away from such geopolitical chaos. ".
international trade.
Russia considers selective restrictions on the export of grain through the Black Sea unacceptable and recalls the agreements that were not fulfilled within the grain deal.
The countries of the south and the world are reducing their dependence on Western markets. Russia also redefined trade: These countries account for 80% of its exports.
Russia will continue to develop the export of energy and food resources, nuclear energy and transport routes. Cargo transportation along the Northern Sea Route at the beginning of 2026 increased by 25%.
A multipolar world.
Lavrov called for the reform of international financial institutions to take into account the real economic weight of the countries of the global South and East.
