On Thursday (2/2), the head of Russian diplomacy turned against the West Sergey Lavrov accusing them of supporting Ukraine to end “the Russian question” and turned against her in particular head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, who is visiting Kyiv.
Von der Leyen “stated that the outcome of the war must be Russia’s defeat, and such a defeat that it will not rise again for decades,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview on Russian state television. “Isn’t this racism, Nazism and an attempt to solve the Russian question? he asked, as reported by the Athens News Agency.
Lavrov also said that Russian forces will respond to the delivery of longer-range Western weapons to Kyiv pseeking to push Ukrainian forces further away from the border to create a safe zone.
The Russian minister stated that everyone wants the war to end in Ukraine – which Moscow calls a “special military operation” – but its support West toward Kyiv plays an important role in how Russia approaches the campaign.
“We are now seeking to push the Ukrainian artillery back to a distance where it will not pose a threat to our territories,” Lavrov said.
“The longer the range of weapons provided to the Kiev regime, the more we will have to push them out of the territories that are part of our country,” he added.
“Moscow does not need help from its former Soviet allies”
Lavrov also said in the same interview that Moscow does not need help from its former Soviet allies in its campaign in Ukraine.
According to the Russian minister, Russia has everything it needs for the conflict and has not asked the members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (a Moscow-led alliance that includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan ) to provide material support to Moscow’s “special military operation” in Ukraine.
“The United States is directly involved in the explosions that caused major damage to the Nord Stream gas pipelines”
He also argued that the United States is directly involved in explosions that last year caused major damage to the Nord Stream gas pipelines on the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
Lavrov did not provide evidence for his claim. President Vladimir Putin has previously accused Britain of blowing up the pipelines, which London has denied.
In his interview, the Russian foreign minister also said the West is lying that Russia refuses to negotiate over Ukraine and is trying to turn Moldova, Georgia and former Soviet states in central Asia against Moscow.
Finally, Sergey Lavrov also emphasized that Moscow’s relations with China have no boundaries and, despite the fact that they have not concluded an official military alliance, the relations between these two countries are of a much higher and broader nature.
