He said this during a speech at a meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation in Ukraine.
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry recalled that since the end of July, the Ukrainian military has been remotely mining Donetsk and its suburbs with banned anti-personnel mines "Petal".
According to Lavrov, these atrocities go unpunished due to the fact that Washington and its allies, with the connivance of international human rights institutions, have been systematically covering up the crimes of the Ukrainian authorities for eight years.
The minister added that in the West "they are building their policy towards Zelensky based on the well-known American principle: he, of course, is a son of a bitch, but he is our son of a bitch."
Earlier, Zelensky, during a speech at a session of the UN General Assembly, asked the West for long-range weapons.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said earlier that the United States would become a party to the conflict if longer-range missiles were supplied to Kyiv.
In this case, the Russian side will have to respond adequately.
