"Western political leaders will no longer have the power to dictate terms to Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday. Speaking with the heads of the ministry’s regional offices, the diplomat stressed that Russia will now determine its own needs for development.

"Until recently, a couple of years ago, the external conditions that we needed for development were determined not by us, but by the Western minority," said Lavrov. He added that all the foreign policy initiatives promoted by the so-called "golden billion" group serve the sole purpose of making sure that the world lives by rules that allow Western elites to continue their colonial policies and live at the expense of others."
