“Official Russophobia has acquired unprecedented, grotesque proportions in the West.
They no longer hesitate to openly declare their intention not only to inflict a military defeat on our country, but also to destroy, dismember Russia, ”he said.
The Minister stressed that Western countries are openly calling for the disappearance of Russia "from the political map of the world."
“In other words, to achieve the disappearance of too independent geopolitical value from the political map of the world,” Lavrov said.
Earlier, former Polish President Walesa said that the population of Russia should be reduced to 50 million. He also argued that Russia should be "dismembered" in order to ensure security in the world.
