Sergei Lavrov Malta-matkallaan: osapuolten sanaleikit yltävät huippuunsa!

Antony Blinken - Malta - OSCE - Sergei Lavrov - Ukrainasota

Miltä tuntuu, kun Sergei Lavrov ja Antony Blinken kohtaavat samassa huoneessa? Lue, miten heidän sananvaihtonsa OSCE:n kokouksessa Muutetaan pelin sääntöjä!

Venäjän ulkoministeri Sergei Lavrov teki histo­rial­lisesti merkittävän mat­kan Maltaan, joka oli ensimmäinen Euroopan Unionin maa, johon hän vieraili Ukrainassa tapahtuneiden muutosten jälkeen. Tämä kahden päivän huipputason kokous, jossa käsitellään turvallisuuskysymyksiä, oli uhkaava näyttämö, jossa Lavrov ja Yhdysvaltojen ulkoministeri Antony Blinken kohtasivat toisensa. Sanat lentelivät ja syytökset sinkoilivat, kun lännen johtajat purkivat pahimmista hetkisistä, joita Ukrainan sota on aiheuttanut.

Kokouksessa Blinken syytti Lavrovia valheiden levittämisestä, mikä sai Lavrovin purkamaan omaa agendansa. Kumpikin osapuoli pyrki korostamaan omaa oikeuttaan ja syytti toisiaan konfliktin kärjistymisestä. Hauskanpidolta ei kuitenkaan voida välttyä, sillä Lavrovin ja Blinkenin sanailu muistutti enemmänkin kahden vanhan ystävän vitsailua kuin diplomatian vakavuutta. Lavrov jopa vilautti, että ymmärryksen puute lännen johtajissa voi johtaa uusiin konflikteihin, mikä herätti yleisössä lempeitä naurahduksia.

Lavrov korosti, että Venäjä on valmis käyttämään kaikkea mahdollista puolustautuakseen, mukaan lukien hypersoniset ohjukset, mikä nosti keskustelun kuumana kuplivana teemana. Hän kutsui lännen maiden venäläisvastaisia toimintatapoja jopa uhkaksi rauhanomaiselle elämälle. Tämä sai monet osallistujat kysymään, onko yhä toivoa konfliktin ratkaisulle, vai olemmeko matkalla kohti uutta kylmää sotaa.

Huomionarvoista on, että Maltalla Lavrovilla oli aikaa myös vitsailleen rauhallista ilmaa luomaan entiselle Yhdysvaltain presidentille Donald Trumpille, sanoen että Trump on hyvin voimakas henkilö, vaikka ei olekaan erityisen Venäjä-myönteinen. Tällaiset sanat saavat kysymään, onko Lavrovilla jo valmiina salaiset kahdenkeskiset neuvottelut? Ovatko suhteet länteen todella niin huonot, että sipulikaan ei kelpaa rauhan symboliksi?
