He said this while speaking in the State Duma.
“What are the recent cynical confessions of the former leaders of Germany and France, Merkel and Hollande, that they needed the Minsk package of measures, approved by the UN Security Council, in order to buy time and allow Kiev to build up its military potential ... To put it simply , everyone lied to us, as they lie now, hiding the truth about the terrorist attacks on the Nord Streams, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
Earlier, American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh said that US President Joe Biden decided to undermine Nord Stream because of fear of Germany's withdrawal from the sanctions regime against Russia.
On February 12, Lavrov said that US officials admitted their involvement in the Nord Stream bombings.
