An exceptional plea by the Foreign Minister of Russia, and his version of what happened and when and why Russia acted, and how it relates to norms of international behaviour that have been followed by the nations of Western Europe and by the United States. See the related article on the views of Foreign Minister Milliband of Britian and how he is supporting Germany and France to seek dialogue and engagement with Russia rather than the position of the USA that seeks to disengage with Russia on this issue. Sergey Lavrov says his country wants cooperation with Europe and the USA, and the world's interests are bigger than those of Georgia and South Ossetia.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
