Lavrov Says Order Failed

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a Eurasian security conference in Minsk that the Euro-Atlantic security concept had failed and that the world was witnessing a struggle to define the principles of a new world order. He called for a multipolar order that would ensure equality among states. He rejected calls for a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, saying any settlement must address the crisis’s root causes. He said Russia had no plans to start a war with Europe but would respond swiftly if Europe started one. Lavrov called for a cooperative Eurasian security system and mutual guarantees, but said he saw no realistic prospects for dialogue with Europe at present.
