"With the start of the special military operation, sanctions reached unprecedented heights - more than 30,000 of them. Nothing like this has ever happened in history. And this simply showed us that we need economic and technological sovereignty, in addition to sovereignty in the security sphere," Lavrov told journalists at the 23rd Congress of the United Russia political party.According to him, the Western countries that sought to punish Russia abruptly abandoned their own model of globalization overnight.Lavrov added that the policy of import substitution implies the need to ensure, once and for all, that everything necessary for safeguarding sovereignty and key sectors of the economy is produced on Russian territory or with the involvement of reliable partners.

West Erases Its Own Globalization Principles with Sanctions on Russia - Lavrov
The West has undermined the very principles of globalization that it had long championed, having imposed an unprecedented 30,000 sanctions on Russia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
"With the start of the special military operation, sanctions reached unprecedented heights - more than 30,000 of them. Nothing like this has ever happened in history. And this simply showed us that we need economic and technological sovereignty, in addition to sovereignty in the security sphere," Lavrov told journalists at the 23rd Congress of the United Russia political party.
According to him, the Western countries that sought to punish Russia abruptly abandoned their own model of globalization overnight.
"Those who preached the free play of the market, globalization, and the inviolability of property suddenly, overnight, when it became necessary to punish Russia, imposed sanctions that undermine the principles of globalization promoted by the West under US leadership for many decades. In other words, they completely disregarded everything they had tried to impose on the world. As a result, the global economy has become fragmented," the minister emphasized.
Lavrov added that the policy of import substitution implies the need to ensure, once and for all, that everything necessary for safeguarding sovereignty and key sectors of the economy is produced on Russian territory or with the involvement of reliable partners.
