The United States and its NATO allies are seeking to win a victory over Russia on the `battlefield’ to destroy our country, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told TASS in an interview.
“The actions by the collective West and their puppet [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky confirm the global nature of the Ukrainian crisis. It is no secret that the strategic goal of the US and its NATO allies is to win a victory over Russia on the battlefield as a mechanism of weakening or even destroying our country,” Lavrov said. “Our opponents will just do about anything to achieve this goal,” he added.
According to Russia’s top diplomat, the beneficiary of a ‘hot conflict’ is the United States who has been seeking to get the most out of it both economically and strategically. “Washington has also been solving a key geopolitical goal of breaking the traditional bonds between Russia and Europe and making their European satellites even more dependent on them,” Lavrov emphasized.
The Russian Foreign Minister also told TASS that Russia and the United States are unable to maintain a normal path of a conversation due to the confrontational course assumed by US President Joe Biden.
“Maintaining a normal conversation with the Biden’s administration, which declares a strategic defeat to our country as one of its aims, is objectively impossible,” Lavrov said adding that Washington’s “confrontational anti-Russian course keeps assuming a more acute and all-embracing nature.”
Russia’s top diplomat noted that “the Russian-US relations are in a really deplorable state as they had almost stalled due to Washington.”
“We have been consistently explaining to Americans that it is not in our style to intentionally depreciate inter-governmental relations,” Lavrov noted.
“However, we proceed from the stance of reciprocity under any circumstances when it comes to building a dialogue. In other words, as a rule we act according to the principle of ‘an eye for an eye,’ but not necessarily symmetrically,” Lavrov added.
