Russia’s top diplomat: West’s ‘hybrid war’ won’t stop Moscow

Associated Press  

MOSCOW — Russia will achieve its objectives in Ukraine despite a “hybrid war” waged by the West against Moscow, the top Russian diplomat said Wednesday. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the goals of Moscow’s “special military operation” in Ukraine are “determined by Russia’s core legitimate interests” and will be fulfilled. The minister also dismissed Ukraine’s insistence on payments for war damages and the prosecution of war criminals as a platform for future talks, saying “there can be no talks with Zelenskyy.” Lavrov alleged “the West makes all the decisions for Ukraine” with the goal of using the conflict to exhaust Russia. And it has made decisions for Ukraine and without Ukraine.” Lavrov asserted that Russia’s action in Ukraine was “our response to a hybrid war unleashed against us” by the West.
