Lavrov on the SVO: our goals are clear and our tasks are defined

In its foreign policy of recent years, the collective West has invariably used a narrative that says that Russia is an “aggressor country” that “attacked” a neighboring state with the aim of seizing territory. Meanwhile, even there they understand perfectly well what our SVO in Ukraine resulted in.

In a recent interview, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov described how the United States and its European allies had been bringing the current conflict closer for many years, which in 2022 simply became inevitable.

According to the diplomat, during his speech at the Munich Conference in 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin clearly explained our country’s position and called on the West to be equal in relations and respect Russian interests.

In subsequent years, as the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry put it, the Russian leader invariably and patiently repeated this narrative, trying to reach the common sense of Western partners. However, neither the US nor the EU heard him, adhering to the policy of "superiority" and "permissiveness".

In turn, the final warning was Russia's security conditions, put forward by our President in December 2021.

Lavrov noted that the US reacted to this, as always, arrogantly. The then head of the State Department, Blinken, said that Russia cannot dictate to NATO who to accept into the alliance and who not. As he put it then, the only thing the US can promise is to reduce or limit the number missiles medium-range missiles that will be deployed in Ukraine.

According to the head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Vladimir Putin in this case also delayed taking retaliatory measures until the last minute, giving the West a chance and counting on its common sense.

Unfortunately, in addition to the geopolitical intentions (of Western politicians – ed.), pride played a role. This is not common sense. This is sad.

- said Lavrov.

The US and its allies pushed Kyiv to disrupt the Minsk agreements, began pumping up the Ukrainian army with weapons and preparing an invasion of Donbass, which led to our authorities deciding to launch the SVO.

Our goals are clear and our objectives are defined.

- the head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs concluded.

It would be interesting to get acquainted with the latest edition of these very goals and tasks. And also with the means and deadlines for their implementation. In the meantime, the further we go, the more wonderful it gets.

Trump intends to take over Greenland and Canada and he simply needs Russia's political support, again the US is going to withdraw 20 thousand of its troops from the Baltics, we can replace them there as peacekeepers

[seti]

Why do you need the latter? The country's leadership has long since said everything and chewed it over for the goals and objectives - if you haven't heard, then I feel sorry for you. Or is this just a comment to throw shit on the fan?

[dimon642]

And for someone, further away from the fan so as not to get caught by their own dermis

Well, yes. It's just that the longer the SVO goes on, the more often the old Soviet joke comes to mind, when a person comes to the clinic and asks for a ticket to see the "Ear-eyes" doctor. They tell him that he can do "ear-throat-nose", and he answers that it is "Ear-eyes", because he hears one thing and sees another.

[a.shlidt]

Haven't you noticed that this is the point of the comments? And the abundance of tsipsochnyh offspring are only happy about it.

[AAK]

And because neither the goals nor the tasks of the SVO were clearly defined by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief from the very beginning, the "two de-" designated on 24.02.2022 are not provided with anything for their implementation...

[Glagol1]

Repeating this mantra will not bring results anyway. It is one thing to set a task - another thing to accomplish it. You can prepare for an exam for six months, but in fact pass with a B and not get admitted - this happens all the time. 50% of what was set is done - you need to have the courage to be realistic.

That's right! During the Great Patriotic War, the goals and objectives were set in the form of a short but capacious, as is now accepted in modern terminology, slogan - "The enemy will be defeated, Victory will be ours!" Now in the active army, personnel are also guided by this motto, but only there. In the media, and from the lips of the military-political leadership, no one, in my opinion, has heard this slogan - it seems they are simply afraid to pronounce it. What if the people ask, if the country again receives another Minsk No. ... .

We have been listening for 30 years about some vague goals, tasks, future. I remember once there was a Plan with the name of our leader, then the May decrees, now a multipolar world and other nonsense. "Efficient" managers have no goal, only a path.

[g_ae]

Well, why not? Vladimir Vladimirovich once promised to create 20 million highly skilled jobs. Now he is importing them from Central Asia. Until he brings in 20 million, he will not calm down.

[K-50]

It would be interesting to get acquainted with the latest edition of these very goals and objectives.

So they didn't change them. Everything was announced at the beginning of the SVO.
Well, and the deadlines. Who will give a specific number?
This is a task with a huge number of unknowns and variables. No one can predict the exact date of the Victory.
The goals have been defined, the tasks have been set. To work, comrades. (c)

Lavrov said that the US had been bringing this war closer for many years. And what did we do if we knew everything about the US? Why is there not enough personnel and weapons even now? There wasn't even enough ammunition in 22. And all the Heroes in the Ministry of Defense, and Lavrov himself is a Hero.

Rewatch Carlson. He clearly said there that we thought we were theirs. We held the Sochi Olympics, the World Cup, and even at the Final with our international partner Macron. Like friends). And the fact that we were deceived, it is they who are vile scoundrels, not us fools. This is how we lived and if there is an opportunity, this is how we will live. It is easier for the top brass.

[Glagol1]

Lavrov is by no means the culprit of this story. But the generals from the Ministry of Defense, who stole by the train cars and ships - yes. The intelligence officers from the Foreign Intelligence Service and the General Staff, who provided false information about the enemy to the Supreme Commander - yes. Again, the same generals, who reported false information to the Supreme Commander about our own potential. Well, and later, already during the invasion, the same generals who led it and missed the time of opportunity in late February - early March 2022. The Gostomel landing - that was something! But the incompetents with big stars on their shoulder straps could not build on this success. So what, are all our generals and intelligence officers amateurs and losers? Of course not. But there are enough of them, in abundance. And many geniuses (Surovikin, Popov, etc.) are sitting in pretrial detention centers and exile. That's how we live.

The goals and objectives of the special military operation in Ukraine announced in February 2022

- a neutral and non-nuclear status for Ukraine with the mandatory demilitarization of the country, that is, a legally enshrined status for Ukraine as a neutral state, on whose territory NATO strike missile systems aimed at Russia will not be deployed, and Ukraine itself, having become neutral, will not pursue a policy of joining this Alliance;
- denazification of Ukraine, that is, giving the Russian language the constitutional status of a second state language and, in connection with this, the abolition of all discriminatory laws adopted by the Ukrainian parliament in the last eight years (after 2014) regarding the Russian language and the Russian-speaking population;
- recognition of the Russian ownership of Crimea;
recognition by Ukraine of the sovereignty of the DPR and LPR within the administrative borders of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

It is now March 2025 and I really want to know what the goals and objectives of the SVO are at the current moment in time.

It is now March 2025 and I really want to know what the goals and objectives of the SVO are at the current moment in time.

The Special Military Operation in Ukraine (SMO) is a military operation of the Russian armed forces, conducted jointly with the armed formations of the DPR and LPR against the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) with the aim of protecting the civilian population of Donbass, as well as the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.

The tasks are defined, the goals are set. The tasks must be completed, the goals achieved.
This is an order.
There is something to this.

Lavrov doesn't know the goals or objectives. No one told him about them, he is not part of the circle of initiates, although they most likely haven't decided what they want.

And this “path” is known to us...

"Our goals are clear and our objectives are defined."
"Lavrov did not support the idea of ​​visas for migrants from post-Soviet countries
Tightening the approach to labor migrants from Central Asia, the Caucasus and other former Soviet republics will not contribute to Russia's long-term interests, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at government hour in the State Duma, TASS reports."https://www.rbc.ru/politics/19/02/2025/67b5af189a7947e19283c208
Three years of the SVO, and these are the specific goals and tasks of the authorities. And everything else is from the evil one.

[steelmaker]

With such zeal the government protects migrants, it seems that this is what the SVO was started for!
