Lavrov: West seeks to weaken Russia, multipolarity limits its dominance

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov reiterated the long-standing narrative that the West aims to weaken Russia, framing it as a historical constant from the Russian Empire to the USSR. He asserted that the emergence of new centers in a multipolar world prevents Western dominance. This is consistent with established Russian rhetoric, signaling no policy shift but reinforcing the geopolitical confrontation narrative.
