War in Ukraine – 180° U-Turn by Lavrov: Moscow Seeks Regime Change in Kyiv

That Moscow seeks to overthrow its government Ukrainian the foreign minister of Russia said yesterday Sunday, Sergey Lavrov out of Egypt, contradicting what he said in the spring. “We will definitely help the Ukrainian people to get rid of the regimewhich is completely anti-popular and against history,” he said characteristically, adding that the Russian and Ukrainian people will live together in the future.

The last days, the Russian political leadership is publicly hardening its positions as far as he is concerned war in Ukraine. On Wednesday, as APE-MPE reminds, Lavrov threatened to seize other territories besides the Donbas regionwhere hostilities are currently concentrated.

Given the deliveries of longer-range weapons from the West to the Ukrainian military, it is necessary to further push Kiev’s forces out of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions that make up the Donbass. Moscow has recognized the pro-Russian authorities of the two regions as independent “People’s Democracies”.

Sergei Lavrov assured in April that Moscow “does not plan” to cause “regime change” in Ukraine, during an interview with an Indian television network. He had then added that it was up to the Ukrainian people to choose their leaders.
