Lavrov’s trip canceled due to ‘unprecedented ban’ – Moscow
Russia says foreign minister’s working trip to Geneva will not go ahead due to airspace closures
RT | February 28, 2022
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s working trip to Switzerland has been canceled due to an “unprecedented” airspace ban, imposed by several EU countries as a response to the Russian attack on Ukraine.
Lavrov was due to attend the session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on March 1, as well as to give a speech at the Conference on Disarmament.
“FM Lavrov’s visit to Geneva for the session of the UN HRC and the Conference on Disarmament has been canceled due to an unprecedented ban on his flight in the airspace of a number of EU countries that have imposed anti-Russian sanctions,” the Russian mission in Geneva said on Twitter.
Over the last few days numerous countries have closed their skies to Russian aircraft. On Monday, Moscow announced that it was closing its airspace for the planes of 36 countries as a reciprocal measure.
A new wave of Western restrictions imposed on Russia included personal sanctions against Lavrov and against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Moscow is now preparing its response, which, according to a recent statement by the Kremlin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, requires coordination of various governmental agencies.
The Russian “special military operation” in Ukraine has a stated goal of “demilitarizing” the country and protecting the security of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as of Russia itself. The Western nations condemned the attack, imposed tough economic sanctions on Moscow, and announced weapon supplies to Ukraine.
The Deep State (Zio/Neocon/MIC/MSM/BigFinance-controlled) has mobilized its still-fearsome resources. Russia is hounded on all sides wounded badly, vilifeid, sanctioned and pre-occupied…but WAIT: IMO the key here is the PRC and its closer and closer ties with Russia in defiance of the “New World Order! Doesn’t China, versus the full-spectrum-global-dominance crew/cabal manipulating imperialist levers, fit here? To wit: take Russia down and crippled, then go after the REAL KEY — any Russia-China moves in a united front — and VOILA! — the (Zio?) cabal can pursue its malign global agenda…at least for another generation or two.
Stay tuned….
