Lavrov: Russia is not innocent, but it is not ashamed to show who it is

The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov gave an interview to the BBC, stressing: “No. we invaded UkraineĀ». “We declared a special military operation because we had no other way to explain to the West that pushing Ukraine into NATO was a criminal act,” he added.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine on February 24, the Russian Foreign Minister has given few interviews to Western media, according to the BBC. Lavrov reiterated the Kremlin’s official line that there were Nazis in Ukraine and that the Russian army was “de-Naziizing” the country.

The British network journalist called on Lavrov to comment on the official UN report on the Ukrainian village of Yakhidne, which states that “360 residents, including 74 children and five people with disabilities, were forced by Russian forces to stay for 28 days in basement of a school without toilet and water… and 10 elderly people died “.

“Is this the war against the Nazis?” asked the BBC correspondent Lavrov, to which he replied: “It is a great pity; but international diplomats, including the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Secretary-General and other UN representatives, are under pressure from the West. And very often they are used to reinforce the false news spread by the West…

THE Russia she is not blameless. Russia is what it is. “And we are not ashamed to show who we are,” he stressed.

Asked about Russia’s deteriorating relations with the United Kingdom, which is also on Russia’s official list of unfriendly countries, Lavrov said he no longer thought there was room for maneuver. “Both Boris Johnson and Liz Tras say openly that ‘we have to defeat Russia,’ ‘we have to make Russia kneel.’ “So keep doing it!” He stressed.
