The United States, having subjugated the collective West to turn Ukraine into a tool for war with Russia, acted according to the same scheme as Hitler did with regard to the USSR, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday at a plenary session of the State Duma.
"Today, the United States has subjugated practically the entire collective West, mobilizing it to turn Ukraine into a tool for war with Russia, just as Hitler once placed most of Europe under arms to attack the Soviet Union," the minister said.
"Just as then, the West's current plans are not destined to come true. President [of Russia Vladimir Putin] said this very clearly in the Kremlin," Lavrov pointed out.
In his words, Russia, unlike the US, does not react to imaginary threats, but to real ones. "Then there was Yugoslavia, which the US and NATO tried to "bomb" into democracy, destroyed Iraq, where weapons of mass destruction were never found, Libya plunged into chaos. Now is the moment of truth.
We are not reacting to imaginary threats in distant countries, we are defending our borders, our homeland, all our people from real genocide, arranged by descendants and followers of Nazi henchmen who have gone to serve the overseas masters," said the minister.
