Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused European nations, led by Britain and France, of prolonging the Ukraine conflict by supplying weapons and planning peacekeeping missions, warning that such efforts echo historical attempts by Napoleon and Hitler to defeat Russia. In a fiery interview, Lavrov criticized London and Paris, alongside Baltic states, for arming Ukraine and pushing for its NATO membership, despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration signaling a rejection of Kyiv’s alliance bid. He dismissed proposals for security missions involving the European Union and Global South countries like India and China as politically incompetent, while claiming territories annexed by Russia after referendums remain culturally and historically Russian. Lavrov also lambasted Europe’s remilitarization efforts under EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, linking them to economic decline and deindustrialization amid tensions with Moscow. #live #russia #nato #europe #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld
