Russian propaganda was great. Ukraine is an independent country who is free to decide its own future : democracy, language, association with the European Union, and join NATO (you see why). Ukrainians have been attacked for hundreds of years from the corrupt tyrants Russian dictators. In 2014, they got rid of the Russian puppet (Yanukovic), Putin didn't like a free Ukraine, so it started a war and stole Crimea from Ukraine. Now Ukraine, wants all its territory back and put many Russians in jail for the war crimes they are committing in Ukraine.

In a perfect world Russia would have played by the rules and asked for justice in UN for example, but who can promise that in the meantime US wouldn't nudge Ukraine into fully winning Donetsk?

It used to be we'd get called Putin stooge conspiracy theorists for suggesting American spooks were behind the violent coup - now Western officials brag about having done it. We used to be called Putin stooges for saying it was the West and Zelensky who repeatedly failed to abide by the Minsk agreement, and somehow it was Putin and the separatists violating the peace accords - now both western leaders and the Ukranian nationalists brag about how Minsk was always a fake-out so they could arm up to fight Russia... We were told it was conspiracy theory that US was setting up bioweapon labs in Ukraine; then Nuland admitted to it congressional hearings... And now we have found out that Nordstream was blown up on Biden's orders (no surprises there, but we were called conspiracy theorists for calling that one as well...) and the operation was set in motion before the Russian invasion specifically and deliberately to prevent Germany from turning the taps on if things got too hairy in their energy sector (as they have done now..). Lavrov is correct that the bombings in Donbass were escalated right before the invasion. He also didn't mention, but it's very relevant, that Zelensky was floating the idea of getting nuclear weapons to point at Russia months before the invasion. There was also a (probably US backed) coup attempt in Belarus right before Moscow decided to invade. And are we to believe that it's a lie that the post-Maidan junta regime banned the Russian language throughout Ukraine - including all the regions currently being fought over that were populated primarily by Russian speakers who overwhelmingly voted for the guy the West and the nationalists violently overthrew in the Maidan coup? The very same people who tried to succeede rather than live under this new regime, and many of whom see Russia as liberators in this war? Is it not true that Russia has made their conditions clear and has been the one open to peace talks this whole time, while the West staunchly refuses unless Putin is overthrown (lol) and while Zelensky repeatedly states he'd rather see his country burn than enter into peace talks before they retake the separatist regions (never gonna happen)? I just don't get what the pro Ukraine argument even is... It seems to amount to what Kamala Harris said in that radio interview when asked about the war, something like "well Ukraine is a small country that was invaded by big bad Russia and that's bad, and we support DeMoCrAcY so we back Ukraine" What possible right does the West have to threaten Russia like this, or for that matter what right do the nationalists in the west of Ukraine have to oppress and abuse the Russian speakers in Donbas and Crimea? Do they not have a right to self determination? Newsflash - given the option, the population there overwhelmingly sides with Russia (duh) and not the neo nazis who openly and brazenly refer to them as sub-human dogs and "orcs" who must be put down and subjugated as enemies of the state...

13:18 if the russian language was totally canceled 9 years ago, how come most of Ukrainian interviews of russian prisoners of special operation occur in the same cancelled russian language ?

‘’ is it necessary to go war over an ocean apart ? ‘’ trump was right.

[@Diiapazona]

Because there are more than 70 percent of the Russian-speaking population. Now take your time and find the Ukrainian laws that forbid these people to study, work and communicate in their native language. You can also look for information about language patrols

You couldn't believe it but 10 years ago he was a pretty solid and well prepared diplomat. Now he is a clown...

[@Lancer1333]

He's just tired. He is exhausted like a lemon over the years. And he is probably just frustrated as a diplomat that the conflict could not be avoided diplomatically, because he is responsible for it.

[@danr6175]

He is fed up not a clown

He is not a clown, because clowns make people and especially children joyfully laugh. But he is bloody war criminal, just like anybody in Putin's sadist regime. Lavrov is so pathetic and miserable with all these bulls**t, that he makes people laugh out of shame

[@dimatrue]

Blinken and his western colleagues are more like 🤡 especially that lady from Germany that apparently failed to graduate high school and has no grasp of elementary topics 😂😂😂

Пахнуло советской политической школой, но такого мелкого пошиба. И английский ужасный, мог бы попросить дочь подтянуть, она ведь русский уже забыла.

[@Crashyocean]

Look how rude he is, his behaviour to the host explains everything about Russian state and politics. Shame on you Lavrov

[@veritate7981]

He is obviously grandstanding to deflect the question and to be able to advance their propaganda.

[@IrynaSokol-js3su]

They understand that they are loosers and try to save the face💩

[@yasseralsaidi1168]

Mocking our old leaders for there age is absolutely a rude thing
