Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has asserted that Ukraine «will be liberated» from the «neo-Nazi» authorities ruling the country and expressed his conviction that the plans of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will fail.
«The Ukrainian people will be liberated from the neo-Nazi rulers, they deserve to live in good neighborliness, friendship, prosperity next to their Slavic brothers,» the Russian diplomatic representative said, TASS news agency reported.
Lavrov has collaborated with a documentary of the television channel Russia24 – entitled ‘Nazism under investigation’ – where he has stressed that Ukraine’s plans to regain control over Crimea and Donbas will not come to fruition.
In this sense, Lavrov has criticized Zelenski for, he says, not knowing the history of these territories, especially Crimea, and has taken the opportunity to ridicule the president by slipping that while the events were developing in the peninsula he was acting in ‘The Club of the Cheerful and Witty’, a humorous program.
