MOSCOW, January 29. /TASS/. European politicians demonstrate their "pettiness" without even bothering to argue the accusations against Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Turkish media.
Lavrov said the Ukrainian conflict is not a territorial issue, but the Nazi regime that wants to exterminate all Russians. Ukraine is a pawn, a tool of the West, which it uses to create direct threats to Russia's security, the minister said. According to him, there are big questions to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres because of his position on Ukraine.
TASS has compiled the main statements of the foreign minister.
Washington's 28-point plan for the Ukrainian settlement includes a "demand to restore the rights of national minorities," including linguistic and religious ones.
Europe and Kiev have "shoveled" the US plan for Ukraine, "and are now trying to "sell" their "vision" of this "world" to the American administration.
