West Directly Supports Genocide of Russians by Kiev Regime, Lavrov Says
18:47 30.05.2023 (Updated: 10:49 03.08.2023) Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine in early 2022, the goals of which, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, are "to protect people who have been subjected to abuse, genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, during his visit to Burundi,
accused Western countries of directly supporting the genocide of the Russian population in Ukraine.
According to the top diplomat, the West first became a direct participant in the war unleashed against the Russian Federation, and now it is also "calling for genocide."
"Since the West insists that there is no other basis for resolving the Ukrainian situation except the notorious ‘peace formula’ of [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky, and at the same time his team is threatening that while ‘liberating’ Crimea and the eastern regions of Ukraine, [they will] start killing all Russians and destroying everything Russian there, the conclusion is simple: the West directly supports genocide," Lavrov noted.
The foreign minister pointed out that
threats to kill Russians have been heard from many representatives of the Kiev regime, including Secretary of the Security Council Oleksiy Danilov, Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and several Ukrainian ambassadors abroad. Now, according to the diplomat, a similar point of view has been voiced by a US senator.
Lavrov also stressed that the Kiev regime had long ago switched to outright terrorist methods, using the weapons that the West is pumping to the regime.
"Western claims that the arms supplied should not be used against the Russian Federation are yet another lie," the top diplomat said.
Lavrov noted that
Russia appreciates the sincere readiness of African countries to help resolve the conflict, but all of these ideas and initiatives "must be considered in the context of the geopolitical confrontation that the West is up against Russia, and at the same time against China, as was recently declared in the documents of the G7."
On May 26, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who led a US delegation visiting Ukraine, was featured in a video clip allegedly distributed by Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian presidential administration, where
he says: "And the Russians are dying... it's the best money we've ever spent."
Later, some Western media reported that in fact the senator's words were redacted by Kiev.
