Sergey Lavrov: The economy is increasingly turning into an arena of geopolitical struggle

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in his article titled "The World Economy and Its Links to International Security," stated that the global economy has turned into a field of geopolitical struggle.

Lavrov argued that Western countries are resisting the formation of a multipolar world order, initiating trade wars, and attempting to prevent the Global South and the East from participating in global governance. Accusing the European Union of turning into a military bloc and seizing ships, the Minister stated that such actions are contrary to international law.

Touching upon energy and food security issues, Lavrov criticized Ukraine's attacks on critical infrastructure and the impact of attacks on Iran on the Strait of Hormuz. Emphasizing that Russia will continue to contribute to global energy security, Lavrov called for reform of the Bretton Woods institutions and the democratization of international economic relations.
