Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. File photoMOSCOW, June 16 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Russian side did not attack anyone in Ukraine, they attacked Russians in this country. «We did not attack anyone. We attacked Russians in Ukraine,» he said in an interview with the BBC. «I tell you again: we had no other choice. We explained all this many times, a thousand times,» he pointed out. The Ukrainian regime is attacking civilians, cities, just like they did in 2014, when the putschists came to power, when they bombed the center of Luhansk from aircraft, when they burned 50 people in Odessa,» the minister added. He asked a rhetorical question: «Does anyone remember this now?»
