“It doesn’t surprise me at all that lies have become the hallmark of the Ukrainian regime.

So it was under Petro Poroshenko, it remains under Vladimir Zelensky, ”the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry quotes him as saying.

Lavrov recalled that Zelensky recently declared that reports that the Ukrainian armed forces were bombing the center of Donbass and other settlements were false.

“Although even the Western press, in every possible way shielding Ukrainian neo-Nazis, has already admitted that reports that the Russian Armed Forces are doing this are not true,” he said.

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the promise of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky not to use American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) to shell Russian territory, said that Moscow did not believe his words.
