Lavrov assured foreign journalists that Russia did not invade Ukraine

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia did not invade Ukraine and that they were forced to start a “special operation” due to a hopeless situation. He spoke about this in an interview with the BBC.

– You know, we did not invade Ukraine. We announced a special military operation when we no longer had a single way to explain to the West that it was engaged in criminal activities, drawing Ukraine into NATO,” Lavrov said.

He assured that the Western countries were allegedly trying to make Moldova's “second Ukraine”, turning it against Russia.

Thus, Lavrov repeated the rhetoric of Russian President Putin, who explained his decision to start a war in Ukraine on February 24 in the same way. Yes, he devoted the main part of his speech at the May 9 Victory Parade on Red Square to this topic. .jpg” alt=”Lavrov assured foreign journalists that Russia did not invade Ukraine” />
