3 years ago, Russia was the world's biggest exporter of natural gas, and Europe was its top customer. For the continent's leaders, access to all that cheap Russians energy outweighed any misgivings over doing business with president Vladimir Putin.

North Korea, accused of illegally supplying weapons to Russia, criticized the United States on Sunday for providing military aid worth USD 8 billion to Ukraine, calling it "an incredible mistake" and warning that it was akin to "playing with fire" against nuclear superpower Russia. The criticism follows US President Joe Biden's announcement of the new aid package during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Washington. The package includes longer-range weapons, which are expected to enhance Ukraine's ability to strike Russian targets from safer distances as Kyiv continues its efforts to defend itself.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed Russia's support for India and Brazil's bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. 
 
In his address at the 79th United Nations General Assembly on, he stressed that a "fairer world order" requires the expansion of the representation of the Global South in the UNSC. 
 
Lavrov stated, "We are not stepping away from dialogue with the West. In July, upon the proposal of Russia, there was an open debate in the Security Council on the subject of building a more just, more sustainable world order. We believe it is important to begin the discussion that has begun in the UN as well as in other platforms. A fairer world order undoubtedly requires the expansion of the representation of the Global South in the UN Security Council." 
 
"We support our position in favour of the candidacies of Brazil and India, while at the same time taking a positive decision on the well-known initiatives of the African Union. However, of course, we cannot even talk about any additional seats for Western countries, who are already excessively over-represented within the Security Council," he added. 
 
Notably, India has long sought a permanent seat in the Security Council to better represent the interests of the developing world. The nation's quest has gained momentum with support from the international community. Earlier on Friday, Bhutan Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay voiced support for India's bid for a permanent seat on the UNSC. 
 
In his address, Lavrov accused the West of trampling the values of globalisation. He said that the nations of the West have imposed a sanctions war against half of the nations in the world and is using the dollar as a "weapon." 
 
Sergey Lavrov said, "Just like Ban Ki-moon and Kofi Annan in the past, the current Secretary-General advanced his own initiative, under the slogan 'rebooting the global cooperation'. It is an excellent slogan, who could be opposed to that."

"But, what global cooperation can we really talk about at a time when the West has trampled all of these unshakeable values of globalisation that they have been telling us about for so many years from this...trying to convince us that they would ensure equal access for everyone to the goods of contemporary civilisation, where is the inviability of property, the presumption of innocence, freedom of speech, access to information, fair competition on markets with understandable and changing rules," he added. 
 
Stressing that West has been using dollar as a weapon, Lavrov said, "The Secretary-General is talking about the global cooperation. At the sametime, the countries of the West have unleashed a varitable sanctions war against a good half, if not the majority of the states in the world and the dollar which was advertised to us as the heritage and good of all of humanity has been worsely tranformed as a weapon." 
 
Calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's peace formula "hopeless," Lavrov urged Russia's partners to take into account the facts about the real causes of the situation. 
 
"We value the sincere aim of a number of our partners to advance mediation initiatives. We value their constructive focus on results, unlike the hopeless Zelenskyy peace formula. We call upon friends in their further efforts to fully take into account the facts about the real causes of the situation," he said. 
 
In 2022, Zelensky&nbsp;presented Ukraine's 10-point peace formula to world leaders at the G20 Summit in Indonesia's Bali. The 10-point peace formula includes a path to nuclear safety and food security, a special tribunal for alleged Russian war crimes and a final peace treaty with Moscow.
