Lavrov: Zelensky became Russophob

President Vladimir Zelensky took power under the slogans of the world, but ultimately he came to the same Russophobic views as the government of his predecessor Petro Poroshenko. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview with Al Jazeera TV channel, writes TASS.

“Zelensky came to power under the slogans of the world and the need to save human life, prevent deaths either Ukrainians or Russians. In the end, he became the same Russophobe as the government of Peter Poroshenko,” said the head of the Russian diploma.

The minister recalled that Zelensky called people in the Donbas “individuals”, the Prime Minister of the country at the preceding president of Arseny Yatsenyuk called their “nonhumans.” “Zelensky did not do anything about the ongoing bloody war against his own people. He, in fact, was blown, promising to bring up order when they signed numerous agreements with representatives of Donbass. He broke them, without blinking the eye,” Lavrov stressed.

According to the minister, the entire current situation “has developed due to the fact that the West refused to recognize the Russian Federation equal rights in organizing European security architecture.”

“This is confirmed by the reaction of the leading NATO countries, primarily the United States, on the initiatives, which President Vladimir Putin nominated in December 2021 on the need to fully fulfill what we agreed. No one should, even choosing their possible military unions , do anything that will infringe the safety of any other country. This summit was approved, signed by the presidents, the heads of the Government of the OSCE Countries within the Council of Russia-NATO. The West categorically refuses to perform it, “Lavrov continued. – Zelensky declared that if Russia does not stop demanding the fulfillment of its obligations from Ukraine, then he will think that Ukraine will return to itself nuclear weapons. It was a little too much. “
