The Russian side has a number of unpublicized contacts with Western representatives regarding the situation in Ukraine. However, during these contacts, the West does not want to notice the Russophobic and Nazi direction of the regime of Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced this on Tuesday, June 11, at a press conference following a meeting of the foreign ministers of the BRICS member states.

“I think that the realization that one can simply leave this situation and sit at the negotiating table as if nothing happened is wrong. Moreover, no one in the West, we had some unpublished contacts, wants to notice the Nazi, Russophobic effect this [Ukrainian] regime is creating,” Armenian News.am quoted the minister as saying.

Moreover, Lavrov added, Europe and the United States directly encourage the preservation of precisely this character of the Ukrainian state, since they intend to continue to “use the Kyiv regime in the war against Russia.”

“In essence, the goal is the same as that of Adolf Hitler, and before that of Napoleon: to gather all of Europe and accordingly defeat the Russian people and the Russian state,” the foreign minister explained.

Lavrov also drew attention to a recent interview with John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council. He, in a conversation with reporters, said that Washington will do everything to provide Ukraine with “the ability to defend itself.”

“Then he said that the United States does not seek a Third World War, since this would have dire consequences for the European continent,” the head of the Russian diplomatic department concluded.
