On Monday, Russia's foreign minister put a new spin on his country's reasoning for invading Ukraine by claiming the "special military action" is meant to put an end to the United States' quest for "world domination" and the expansion of NATO.
Speaking to the Russian state-owned television news channel Rossiya 24, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the U.S. and other Western nations of violating international law and attempting to impose a "rules-based" global order.
"Our special military operation is meant to put an end to the unabashed expansion [of NATO] and the unabashed drive towards full domination by the U.S. and its Western subjects on the world stage," Lavrov told Rossiya 24, according to a translation from Russian state-run media outlet RT.
"This domination is built on gross violations of international law and under some rules, which they are now hyping so much and which they make up on a case-by-case basis," Lavrov added.
Russia has repeatedly attempted to justify its invasion of Ukraine, and has refused to call its military actions a war. When Russian President Vladimir Putin first ordered troops to attack Ukraine on February 24, he said he said he was seeking the "denazification" of Ukraine. Putin has baselessly claimed that the administration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky—a democratically elected Jewish leader—is overrun by "Nazis" who have promoted "genocide."
Last month, Lavrov also defended the war by saying that Russia is working to prevent a separate conflict in Ukraine.
"The goal of Russia's special military operation is to stop any war that could take place on Ukrainian territory or that could start from there," Lavrov said, according to a tweet posted by the Russian embassy in London.

It's always America's fault. LOL
China probably passed them a note suggesting this as (yet another) reason for the war. Gotta give the cannon-fodder and their mothers some reason for this catastrophe.
If by “world domination” he is referring to pushing “gay” marriage and the “Disneyfication” of children across the globe?
Many Freepers agree with him.
US foreign policy goals are very clear:
“Make the world safe for perverts.”
Good luck , Russia
Another new excuse that was never articulated at the start of the war.
Actually, I think there may be some truth to his words, but I don’t see it as US centric. I see it as the western world “new world order”, also called the great reset.
Maybe this is putin’s “stopped clock” moment.
Lol. Putin didn’t need to do that. He could have just waited and let the RATs complete their work.
World domination? Demolishing the country of Ukraine including residential areas is ending the nonexistent US quest for world domination?
Quite extraordinary logic.
I haven’t gotten to the point where I agree with him, but I have been giving this perspective some consideration the last couple of weeks.
Exactly. The Great Awakening must prevail. Essentially, both Russia and Ukraine are just the proxies. Has little to do with evil/sainthood of Putin nor Zelensky. All to do with the Deep State cabal, which has roots in every nation on the planet.
These FReepers cheering for a man who actively fought Ronald Reagan as head of the KGB.
I looted my local Walmart to put an end to capitalist exploitation of small communities.
Yeah. Gotta agree. Making the world safe for banksters and perverts is not a good agenda.
Maybe the Russians could do the world a favor and whack Soros, Schwab, and their spawn?
And if that's the worst he did as head of the KGB, he's probably an okay guy at heart.
You’re not seeing the big picture in all this, what he’s saying is true. Unless and until either side blinks this is definitely headed towards WW3.
*** All to do with the Deep State cabal, which has roots in every nation on the planet. ***
Pakistan is certainly on the list.. Refused to stop trade w/Russia, and boom Imran Khan gets the boot.
