FM: Special Op Only Option, Moscow Managed to Disrupt Anti-Russian Project by West | Farsnews Agency

(FNA)- Moscow had no other choice but to launch a military operation in order to disrupt Kiev's policies growing increasingly hostile to Russia and Russian people, including those in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

Lavrov invoked Moscow's futile attempts to negotiate mutual European security guarantees with the United States and NATO for several months since last fall, Sputnik reported.

"Against this background, when Donbass started to be shelled [by the Ukrainian military] in an obvious preparation for hostilities, we had no other choice to protect the Russian people in Ukraine. We recognized the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republic, signed a mutual assistance agreement with them, and in response to their request, the president instructed to carry out a special military operation," Lavrov stated.

"I am sure you know about how in the course of this operation our worst suspicions found confirmation, with regard to those plans which had been nurtured and which our operation managed to avert, including the plans to take over Donbass. And you also know about the facts unearthed about the dangerous military-biological programme that the Pentagon has been carrying out in many Ukrainian cities," the foreign minister added.

"We, of course, remain open to cooperation with any countries, including Western ones. Although given the way the West has behaved, we are not going to come up with any initiatives. Let's see how they will get out of the impasse they have driven themselves into," Lavrov noted on the margins of the Leaders of Russia management competition.

The foreign minister stressed, "We have announced our goals. These tasks are absolutely legitimate and understandable."

"Now, of course, I think this interaction [between Russia and China] will be strengthened, because in the context when the West is just brutally undermining all the foundations the international system is based on, certainly, we need to consider what the two great powers will do in this world," Lavrov said.

The Russian foreign minister also added that the relationship between Moscow and Beijing have reached an unprecedentedly high level, surpassing even the traditional allied relations.
