Sergey Lavrov made a number of cynical statements about Ukraine/RBC
Russian Foreign Minister reacted painfully to the arrival of a number of foreign politicians in Ukraine. Against this background, Sergey Lavrov issued a number of outrageous and absurd statements.
Lavrov expressed his opinions on the sidelines of the SPIEF-2022 in St. Petersburg, the Russian media write.
statements on Ukraine, one can trace a clear message – Russia is afraid and does not want Ukraine to become a member of the EU. In this context, he said that the West is allegedly “ready to hurt its citizens” in order to realize its geopolitical ambitions.
Moreover, he is convinced that the EU will show a willingness to turn a blind eye to all its admission criteria if it provides Ukraine with a roadmap for entry. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry also mentioned Moldova. According to him, they are trying to make a “second Ukraine” out of it.
Pay attention! On June 17, the European Commission is expected to conclude on the applications of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova to join the EU.
Other statements Lavrov
- Threats from Ukraine, such as plans to attack the Crimean bridge, fail completely;
- Stingers and javelins delivered to Ukraine by the West are already being sold on the black market;
Well, in conclusion, Lavrov said that contacts with Europe have disappeared from Russia's priorities. It seems that Mr. Lavrov has forgotten that the aggressor country has long since become a pariah in the international arena. So, no desire or unwillingness of Russia to “have contacts with Europe” will affect the global isolation.
