Russia’s “Real War” Claim: Dismissed as Tired Rhetoric
Speaking at a G20 foreign ministers meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused NATO and the European Union of waging a “real war” against Russia “through Ukraine.” Lavrov claimed the West provoked the conflict and is directly involved. These comments follow remarks from former US President Donald Trump, who suggested Ukraine could regain lost territories and that NATO should shoot down Russian aircraft. Lavrov’s statements occurred after a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, where the latter urged Russia toward a resolution.
