Weapons supplied by the West to Ukraine have leaked to hot spots abroad, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a meeting of G20 foreign ministers in India. The meeting which was on food security, development co-operation, terrorism and humanitarian assistance, was dominated by the war in Ukraine.
According to the Russian diplomat, the surge of terrorism in the world as a whole was largely provoked by the external interference of the West in the internal affairs of sovereign states.
Against the background of the ongoing year-long war in Ukraine, Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska warned that "the ailing Russian economy could be left without money next year as it can hardly replace Western investors", BNR's London correspondent Veselin Paunov reported, citing the British Times.
Billionaire Deripaska, 55, an energy and metals tycoon, also offered veiled criticism of President Putin, saying the government should “stop dreaming about some special place for Russia in the world and go about its own business”.
Speaking at the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum in Siberia, Deripaska said that a deescalation in Russia’s war on Ukraine won’t happen before mid-2025. He warned of disaster if Russia fails to steer its economy east towards "friendly" countries that have not imposed sanctions.
