West directly involved in the war against Russia — Lavrov

Western countries are direct participants in the war against Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Cuba’s Prensa Latina news agency.

"We can no longer tolerate the policy of the West, which once again decided to choose the Nazi theory and practice in order to declare this time a hybrid war against the Russian Federation. It is being waged by the hands of the Ukrainian military on orders from the Kiev regime," the top diplomat said.

According to Lavrov, Ukrainian leaders themselves admit that they will lose without continued supplies of increasingly offensive weapons to Ukraine. "This is a characteristic admission. It means only one thing: the West is a direct party to this war. Without it, it would have ended long ago, and would have made it possible to eliminate the threats that 'loomed over' the entire Russian-speaking population of the country called Ukraine after the 2014 coup," the top diplomat pointed out.
