Sergei Lavrov conducts series of bilateral meetings at UN General Assembly
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov conducted a series of high-level bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the 81st UN General Assembly in New York.
Lavrov met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to hand over a Russian report titled ‘Heirs of Goebbels: Falsification of Events in Bucha and Bloody Staged Performances of the Kiev Regime’. Lavrov demanded a detailed UN investigation into the events in Bucha and criticized Guterres for providing contradictory statements regarding the incident.
In a separate meeting, Lavrov spoke with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, focusing on the security of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Grossi indicated he would review the Russian report concerning Bucha.
Lavrov also held discussions with foreign ministers from India, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Brazil. Key topics included Middle East stability, where Lavrov and Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi emphasized diplomacy as the only solution to regional crises. Discussions with India focused on continued coordination within the UN, G-20, and BRICS, while talks with Brazil's Mauro Vieira addressed the importance of non-interference in domestic elections.
