Russia calls for Eurasian security at UN

Highlights

Russia, Belarus, and partners initiated a Eurasian Charter on Diversity and Multipolarity at the UN, aiming to shape a new continent-wide peace and development framework.
Lavrov urges Security Council reform to expand seats for Brazil, India, and African states, while opposing permanent seats for Germany and Japan.
Lavrov asserts Russia's Ukraine campaign will persist until objectives are met, accuses Western nations of destabilization, and condemns U.S. policies on Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba.

Eurasian charter proposal and UN agenda

As reported by UN News, Lavrov tells the General Assembly that lasting peace requires strict adherence to equal and indivisible security, while accusing NATO of extending its reach into Southeast and northeast Asia.

He says Russia, Belarus and what he calls like-minded partners have adopted a statement in New York to begin work on a Eurasian Charter on Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century. He presents the initiative as the basis for a new continent-wide architecture of peace and development, and invites other countries to join the effort.

Lavrov frames the proposal as part of a wider shift toward a multipolar system, quoting President Vladimir Putin's criticism of a single global hegemon and arguing that countries in the Global South and East are becoming sovereign centres of development. He also says Security Council reform should expand representation for Brazil, India and African countries, while opposing new permanent seats for Germany and Japan.

He further points to the UN Convention against Cybercrime, developed at Russia's initiative, and to discussions on artificial intelligence governance, including a Chinese-backed proposal supported by Moscow for a global AI cooperation body.

Geopolitical accusations and conflict messaging

In the same address, Lavrov accuses Western countries of destabilising the world through force and double standards and says Russia's military campaign in Ukraine will continue until its stated objectives are achieved. He also alleges that European governments are arming Ukraine, assisting attacks on civilians and obstructing peace talks that he says many parties, including the Trump administration in Washington, want to pursue.

Beyond Ukraine, he condemns the U.S. seizure and detention of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, calls the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei an unacceptable act, and says strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards have damaged the non-proliferation regime.

On Gaza and the West Bank, Lavrov says a Security Council-endorsed U.S. peace plan has failed to deliver peace and warns that continued violence and territorial pressure could make a Palestinian state impossible. He also calls for urgent international action on Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia and South Sudan, while repeating Russia's demand that the tightened U.S. blockade of Cuba be lifted.

Our earlier coverage of the Xi–Trump summit focused on the China–U.S. push to stabilize ties through practical guardrails. We noted the extension of their trade truce, steps toward reciprocal tariff cuts and a joint trade mechanism, and the launch of a formal dialogue on artificial intelligence risk management backed by dedicated communication channels.
