The West was deaf to this,» Lavrov said in an interview with the French TV channel TF1.
The West cultivates the hatred of everyone towards everyoneAccording to him, the West was also indifferent to the fact that Ukraine publicly refused to comply with the UN Security Council resolution that approved the Minsk agreements signed by France and Germany.» For years, we have been convincing the West that Ukraine should not be drawn into NATO.The Alliance has already approached the Russian borders five times, contrary to all the promises that we were given when the Soviet Union disappeared. Drawing Ukraine into NATO meant creating a direct threat directly on the border of the Russian Federation,» the minister added.
