Russia wants the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to be strengthened based on the principles of independence and impartiality, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
"Of course, we want to strengthen the International Committee of the Red Cross based on the principles that have been at the core of its activities since its creation. First of all, independence and impartiality," Lavrov said at a meeting with ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric.
The West wants to manipulate ICRC activities for its own political interests, Lavrov said, adding that Russia appreciates that the leadership of International Committee of Red Cross strives to adhere to the principle of impartiality.
"No matter what, we will fulfill our obligations under international humanitarian law and expect that you will address similar appeals to your other partners," Lavrov said.
The West wants to whitewash Kiev’s actions in Ukraine in violation of the international humanitarian law, Lavrov underscored.
