Foreign Minister Lavrov accused the United States of placing military bases around Russia and whipping up hysteria reproaching the Russian side for conducting exercises by the Armed Forces on its territory. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Washington of growing tensions on the Russian border, TASS reports.
our borders, including troops and military equipment in huge quantities from overseas, and the fact that the United States surrounded us from all sides with its military bases, these are probably already facts that any schoolchild knows. And nevertheless, this hysteria is constantly being whipped up, “the minister said.
Lavrov called the statements of the West unfounded and unsubstantiated. He noted that the attempt of Western partners to “preserve their hegemony” contradicts the objective course of history and drew attention to the fact that a multipolar world order is being formed in the world. “We will advocate that the entire multilateral process concentrate on the search for agreements and consensus solutions,” the Foreign Minister concluded.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova called the US statements about Russian troops near the borders of Ukraine a fake campaign … According to the diplomat, the data of the American publications about Russian tanks, which are allegedly pulled together to the Ukrainian borders, is an informational volley of truth, which has nothing to do with reality.
