The head of Russian diplomacy, during a long press conference at UN headquarters in New York, was questioned regarding the involvement of the United States in the conflict in Ukraine.
Westerners are “directly fighting” Russia in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused this Saturday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
“You can call it what you want but they are fighting us, they are fighting us directly. We call it hybrid war, but that does not change the reality,” he added, referring to financial aid, armaments and “mercenaries” from Western countries.
The head of Russian diplomacy, during a long press conference at UN headquarters in New York, was questioned regarding the involvement of the United States in the conflict in Ukraine.
“The fact that they are de facto fighting once morest us using the corps of Ukrainians, I think that everyone here who is interested in the situation in Ukraine knows very well that the Americans, the British and others are fighting by first providing more and more weapons,” accused Sergei Lavrov.
“Not realistic”
The United States and European countries which have supplied weapons systems to Kiev since the Russian invasion of February 2022 insist that they are not at war with Moscow but that they are helping Ukraine to defend itself.
The Russian minister was speaking on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly during which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky came in person to ask for more support from the international community.
He proposed a peace summit to discuss his peace plan to end the war.
Sergei Lavrov said that this settlement proposal was “completely infeasible, impossible to implement, not realistic.”
