After the victory of the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia is playing its historic role in the world - Russian Ambassador to Sri Lanka Levan S. Dzhagaryan
24th February 2024 marks the 2nd year since
Russia commenced its special military operation in Ukraine. Whatever negative
image portrayed by the West led by the US may say, Russia is conducting its
special military operation in Ukraine against the collective West. The City of
Avdeevka, which is one of the key deciders is now under the control of the
Russian army. This achievement is marked in history. I believe and this I say
without any exaggeration that the Ukrainian authorities are delaying to admit
they are defeated militarily by the Russian forces. However, the moment the
announcement is made, there are dangers of new missions being launched in
Europe to establish American imperial hegemony.
Accordingly, the Lanka Leader website decided to
directly draw the Russian version of the situation about the special
military operation against the collective West in Ukraine and the fate of the
people of the world, with His Excellency Mr. Levan S. Dzhagaryan, the Russian
Ambassador to Sri Lanka.
Question: February 24th of this year, marks two
years since the special operation launched by the Russian forces in Ukraine. So
far, according to your Excellency’s point of view, has the special operation
achieved the objectives that Russia had hoped for?
His Excellency Mr. Levan S. Dzhagaryan: Thank you
very much for coming. Your coming to our premises is an honor to us and
allowing us to express our point of view regarding the special military
operation which is conducted in Ukraine is a pleasure to us. First of all, I
would like to inform you my leader, President Putin is delivering a speech in
the Parliament with the presence of higher rankers of the Russian government
and many other invitees regarding the current situation and victories gained by
the Russian army in the special military operation. In his speech, President
Putin highlighted what is gained and what are the aims of the special military
operation in Ukraine. I invite you and the Sri Lankan people to follow
President Putin’s speech.
However, you correctly mentioned in your question
what the Russian army has been doing in Ukraine. I again emphasize that it is
not a war between Russia and Ukraine it is a proxy war between the collective
West and Russia in Ukraine territory. The important fact is this proxy war was
headed by the United States of America. The USA wants to destroy Russia.
Because Russia is the main obstacle for the American Domination. Russia rejects
any domination in the world. Russia builds relationships with any country on
any continent in the world without considering its size or its economic
capabilities. This relationship is built based on mutual respect and equality.
We launched the special military operation in Ukraine because the collective
West failed to be concerned about our security. After the collapse of the USSR
and the end of the Cold War collective West promised us extension of NATO would
not be executed. But they did not keep their promise. Instead of keeping the
promise they expand NATO to the east and close to the Russian borders. They
stationed missiles, and other heavy military equipment and established military
bases along the Russian borders. The guaranteed security for Russia was
ignored. That’s why Russia started a
special military operation in Ukraine. There are several goals within the
special military operation in Ukraine.
First of
all, the special military operation is aimed at eradicating the neo-Nazism
regime in Ukraine. It is currently governed by the followers of Adolf Hitler
and his accomplices. Very shamefully some
countries supported fascist Germany back in the 1940s. Among them are Italy, Japan,
Bulgaria, Romania, Finland, and Spain. And some countries today welcome the new
regime in Nazi Ukraine.
Secondly, the NATO status of Ukraine. Russia will never accept any membership of Ukraine in
this organization. Meanwhile collective West offered a peace deal to resolve the conflict
between Russia and Ukraine. Russia never believes in Western countries. Because
they disguised Russia several times.
Russia’s stance is collective West must accept the Crimea region,
Donetsk People's Republic, Luhansk People's Republic, Kherson Oblast, and
Zaporizhzhia Oblast historically belong to Russian land.
The most important fact I have to reveal Ukraine
was very close to a peace deal with Russia. The coup d'état staged in Ukraine
in 2014 overthrew the government of President Viktor Yanukovych. In 2014
another important agreement relevant to peace in Ukraine came into force with
the mediation of Germany and France. That was the Minsk agreement. But German
Chancellor Angela Markel and the President of France François Hollande who
mediated to sign the Minsk agreement revealed that they deliberately mediated
to sign the Minsk agreement to take time to energize Ukraine militarily. So the
Ukrainian government launched war against the Donetsk People's Republic and
Luhansk People's Republic. Also after the short period when Russia launched the
special operation on February 24th of February 2022, the Ukraine government is
about to agree with Russia in Istanbul Turkey. But Boris Johnston the Prime
minister of the United Kingdom suppressed it. After the collapse of the peace
talks many clashes occurred between Russia and Ukraine. The key to the “door of
peace” is with Washington. Russia is ready for peace talks at any time. But if
they want to defeat Russia in battle field we are ready to continue.
Question: According to your Excellency’s
perception, the war between Russia and the collective West on the territory of
Ukraine is going to end with victory to the Russian army.
His Excellency Mr. Levan S. Dzhagaryan: Of
course! no doubt we will defeat the puppet regime in Ukraine and its foreign
Western sponsors.
Question:
However, economic experts predict that Europe, which was trapped by
American imperialists to join hands in this war, will be pushed into a serious
economic crisis. Europe going into an economic abyss will be beneficial for the
American imperialists. What is Your Excellency’s opinion on this? What measures
is Russia considering to take to prevent Europe from falling into the trap of
the United States?
His Excellency Mr. Levan S. Dzhagaryan: Why
should we prevent if one should want to fall in to trap?
Question: Because of European people …
His Excellency Mr. Levan S. Dzhagaryan: European
people have elected the European government. Then European people play a major
part in this scenario. You correctly mentioned that American imperialists
controlled Europeans to fulfill their interests. You know! We respect the European People. The
prosperity of Germany and many other European countries ‘prosperity based on
Russian Cheap Natural Gas for decades. We built a pipeline to supply cheap
Russian Natural Gas to Europe. But it has been destroyed. Who was behind this
terrorist attack? The answer is simple Americans. That attack was not done by
Ukraine. Norway and other countries mediated to stop the investigation. They
did not allow Russia to participate in the investigation. Because they are
afraid that real attackers might reveal if the investigations occurred. Why did
Americans destroy the pipeline? Because Americans' aspiration is Europe depends
on Expensive American LNG. Europeans unfortunately have lost their
independence. You know some Giant Manufacturing companies and big farms in
Germany trying to move from the USA gas supply. Because the electricity cost is
very high as they use American LNG. We are ready to build up economic
relationships for equal cooperation and mutual benefit with European countries.
But the choice is up to them. They impose sanctions on Russia at the same time
they import Russian Natural Gas. They still buy Russian petroleum products. We highly appreciate our
partners, namely India and China, in this regard.
Question: It is very clear that the unipolar
power structure that has been operating in the whole world is becoming a
multipolar power structure. In this scenario, India is showing signs of
becoming a new powerful state in Asia as well as in the entire world, along
with China. In our point of view, they are creating alternative military
economic political power centers for the United States of America. In a way,
this is a serious threat to the existence of states with weak economic
capabilities in Asia. Maldives is experiencing it today. In such a situation,
what is the reaction of Russia to neutralize this development?
His Excellency Mr. Levan S. Dzhagaryan: We are against the unipolar world. We are
against the domination of one country. Once again I emphasize we must respect
each other. We highly appreciate and pay our big respect to China and India.
They are very strong countries. We continue the policy of bilateral cooperation
with them. China and Russia have a common border. China and Russia continue to
trade with mutual benefits. Likewise, we have a good relationship with India.
At the same time, China
has not a very good relationship with the USA. India also has a very
good relationship with Russia and USA. At the same time, India participates in
different organizations of cooperation such as BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation, and
some other corporations like as Quad (The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue
(QSD), commonly known as the Quad, is a strategic security dialogue between
Australia, India, Japan and the United States that is maintained by talks
between member countries.) From the
perspective of Russia Quad is not a friendly organization. But is up to the
Indian sovereign decision. Once again I emphasize Russia supports a multi-polar
world as much as possible. After the inevitable victory in Ukraine, Russia will
actively play its role in the other parts of the world including the Indian
Ocean region.
Question: A large delegation of more than 40
members headed by the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian
Federation Nikolai Patrushev visited Sri Lanka recently. Has the situation,
after their mission, developed in a way that is satisfactory for Russia-Sri
Lanka relations? What are the benefits to Sri Lanka from this Russian mission?
His Excellency Mr. Levan S. Dzhagaryan : Yes, it was a big delegation consisting of 60
members who visited Sri Lanka last year. They met the President of Sri Lanka,
the defense secretary, and some other important ministry ministers and
higher-ranking government officers. And also we met business council members.
We gave some proposals to the Sri Lankan government. We hope our proposals will
be considered by the Sri Lankan government. We are waiting for some feedback
from Sri Lanka. By the way on the 4th of March this year, which means this
coming Monday, Big Russian delegates are scheduled to visit Sri Lanka. Part of
the delegation coming from Delhi and they will meet some ministers and private
business owners. They will meet delegates from the Ministry of Transport, the
Ministry of Ports and Aviation, the Ministry of Trade and Commerce, the
Ministry of Industry so on. So we closely follow the process and progress and
we give our utmost support to strengthen our bilateral economic relationship.
Now large number of Russian tourists visit Sri Lanka and they pump foreign
currencies into your economy I think it is very useful to upgrade your economy.
Question: Will the Russian private business
company invest in Sri Lankan private businesses and industries also?
His Excellency Mr. Levan S. Dzhagaryan : Russian private business owners also
participate in the round table discussion. We will see what is the progress. I would like to emphasize that
the agreement is good but it should be followed by the implementation.
Question:
Every time the economies of the imperialists face an economic
depression, the tactic they choose to counter it, is a world-scale bloody war.
The First and Second World Wars confirm it well.
The effects of the world wars, clearly show the
American Imperialists obtained great benefits. For example, after World War II,
the US dollar became the petro-dollar, and the US reaped huge benefits.
Although Russia gained special victories in World War II, the United States of
America gained long-term economic, political, and military benefits through it.
Even if the Western nations led by the United States were defeated in the
Ukraine war, the United States has the ability to create a long-lasting war in
Taiwan, Latin American regions, or any other place in the world. I believe that
no matter what assessment Russia and China have regarding the United States,
finally the United States may take the economic political, and military
advantage of the war. What does Your Excellency have to say regarding my
opinion?
His Excellency Mr. Levan S. Dzhagaryan : You mentioned quite correctly as a result of
WWII the USA manipulated the Dollar as a worldwide used currency. And also unfortunately it continues to be the
number one currency in the world. We are nothing against the dollar but we are
against the dollar as leverage a sanction, leverage of pressure, and used as
any kind of leverage. As a result of this leverage world commercial and trade
sector widely used other currencies CIS states use Ruble. For China Russia
commercial transactions widely used Yuan and Ruble. The Indian rupee is also an emerging important
international currency. The world trend is abandoning the dollar in
international trade. Considering the situation developing in international
trade and commerce it is clear that the domination of the dollar will end
shortly. I emphasize again Russia is never against the dollar but against using
the dollar as leverage to
punish those who don't want to be the US vassals, leverage that undermines the
world order.
