"Break down the West's Plans": Lavrov explained why the war against Ukraine is "absolutely needed"

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation stated that the expediency of aggression in Ukraine was proved by the "hysterical reaction" of the West to how Russia is leading war. For the Russian Federation, it is absolutely necessary to fight against Ukraine so that the countries of the West cannot turn it into an "anti-Russia" and thus weaken the aggressor state. This was stated during a meeting with journalists by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, reports "RIA Novosti".

According to Lavrov, the West tried to turn Ukraine into an "anti-Russian" for many years to prevent Russia from participating in international affairs as a strong player. " "How hysterically react by our Western colleagues from the US team to the actions we take within our limits confirms our main conclusion that it means that its (full -scale war) was absolutely necessary to disrupt plans to transform Ukraine into a constant threat Russian security, "the Foreign Minister of Russia added.

The Russian official also stated that the response of the West to the war made it clear that the actions of the aggressor state had led to the failure of geopolitical games. Talking about the results of the year that, Lavrov stated that the Kremlin's situation "finally and irrevocably cleared" - in particular, Moscow became clear who can negotiate with, and who could not "believe now.

" Lavrov also expressed that attempts to isolate Russia from the rest of the world were unsuccessful, and the main motto for the Russian Federation is the "balance of interests". There was no reaction from Ukrainian politicians to Lavrov's statements. We will remind, today the UN Secretary General Guterres expressed the opinion that the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine could end in 2023.
