“Russia did not declare a threat to its security overnight, but for many years urged the West not to make Ukraine anti-Russia, not to create a military threat to the Russian state from the territory of Ukraine, not to interfere with the Russian language, education and culture.
The West did not give a damn about this,” he said.
According to him, the threat directly on the Russian borders, about which Moscow had been warning for many years, was completely ignored.
“We have been trying to reach out to the West for a long time,” the Russian Foreign Minister stressed.
Earlier, Lavrov said that the West declared total war on the entire Russian world, and no one hides this fact, and the situation itself “is already reaching the point of absurdity”, in particular, because of the culture of canceling Russia and everything connected with it.
