Territorial integrity is respected when the government respects their peoples’ rights - Lavrov

Territorial integrity is respected when the government respects their peoples’ rights - Lavrov The very first article of the UN Charter, which calls for “respecting human rights for all“ has never been invoked by the West in the context of Ukraine’s suppression of Russian speakers, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told American journalist Tucker Carlson. “So when people say, ’Let’s resolve the conflict on the basis of the Charter,’ - yes. But don’t forget that the Charter is not only about territorial integrity. And territorial integrity must be respected only if the governments are legitimate and if they respect the rights of their own people,“ Lavrov said. Source: Global News (EU, USA)
