ZAKHAROVA: "Efforts to strengthen Russian sovereignty go hand in hand with the process of forming a more just and stable multipolar international order. Russia is acting as a centre of global development and carrying out a historically unique mission of promoting the global balance of power and building a fairer international system, as well as ensuring a proper environment for peaceful and progressive development of humankind based on a unifying and constructive agenda. Importantly, we are not alone. We can and we will stand up for ourselves. We are not only being heard, but we are supported as well. Our like-minded partners who constitute the overwhelming global majority stand with us. It is important to be aware of the fact that the majority is on our side."
