Russia warns of the neo-colonial approach followed by the West

Moscow-Sana

Russia warned against the dangerous policy of the West, which is based on the approach of "neo-colonialism" and the attempt to dominate other countries.

Stepan Kuzmenkov, spokesman for the permanent Russian mission to the United Nations, was quoted by the TASS news agency as saying in a speech before the United Nations General Assembly during a session devoted to the International Day for the Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery: “We are obliged to indicate that the aggressive neo-colonial policy pursued by Western countries has not stopped and is still continuing. They pose a threat to the world, "explaining that many countries that" defend their sovereignty and independence of their foreign policy are subjected to economic blockade and illegal sanctions, as well as being targeted and interfering in their internal affairs overtly. "

The Russian official stressed that this malicious practice is in contradiction to the norms, principles and charter of the United Nations, "and it must end."

"Russia believes it is fair not only to call for apologies for the evil actions committed in the era of slavery, but also to pay compensation for moral and material damage in the manner of dealing with African countries," Kuzmenkov said.
