Russia will emerge victorious in Ukraine because that is the only language that the West understands, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
Lavrov, who flew to New York to participate in the 79th plenary session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), spoke to the Russian news agency TASS before his departure from Moscow.
"Wherever the West infiltrates to 'fix' a crisis things only get much worse," the top Russian diplomat explained.
He said that "thousands of victims, devastation and socio-economic problems follow," follow Western interference.
"In my years of work in the international arena, there has not been a single case of the West’s intervention resulting in anything good," he added.
"And now we’re seeing the same thing with Ukraine and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Russia's foreign affairs minister underlined.
He said that the only solution to the problem in Ukraine is "victory."
"Victory. They don’t understand any other language," Lavrov underlined.
He stressed that Russia has "no doubt whatsoever" that it would achieve victory.
"We have truly united in the face of the war that the West unleashed against us with Ukrainian hands," he stated.

West seeks to subjugate the world to its international order
According to the minister, the collective West seeks to "subjugate" the globe to its "rules-based international order."
Yet, he said that no one has ever explained what these "rules" might be, aside from allowing the United States to do what it wants in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, the Balkans, Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the South China Sea.
"They have tried to act everywhere like a hegemon, like an elephant in a china shop," Lavrov underscored.
