Russia Beyond the Headlines — Lavrov: Putin will speak at UN of Western abuses of sanctions' mechanism

"President Putin will speak on this subject," he said.

According to Lavrov, the Russian president will also speak of "the problem of fragmentation of the world economic space because in the framework of WTO talks are faltering on guaranteeing a generalized approach to new spheres of economic and technological ties between states."

"He will also speak of concrete aspects such as Syria and the Ukrainian crisis," the minister said stressing that "all these crises stem from systemic problems related to attempts to freeze the process of forming a polycentric world.
