Attempts to falsify the history of World War II offend many nations and undermine basic foundations of world’s order, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov wrote in the article entitled “The lessons of history and new frontiers,” published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
China and Russia, which won the Second World War and were among those countries that had founded the UN and are now members of UN Security Council, should actively take part in forming the multi-polar world order, Lavrov added. He also pointed out that Russia-China cooperation is very important for maintaining regional and international stability.
“We [Russia and China] are decidedly against giving the law by one state to other sovereign countries, including with use of force, imposing one-sided sanctions, and application of practice of double standards,” he wrote.
In 2003, the US invaded Iraq, sparking a decade-long war, bringing the Middle East country to its knees and eventually stimulating the rise of the ISIL militant group that now threatens the whole region.
And, at last, Americans widely supported the overthrow of the legitimate powers in a row of countries across the globe; Libya and Ukraine among them. The situation went out of control in those states and it led to dramatic political destabilization and emergence of full-scale civil wars.
