US seeking to make conflict in Ukraine even more violent, Lavrov says

The United States is doing everything it can to make the conflict in Ukraine even more violent, Russia’s top diplomat Sergey Lavrov told TASS.

“The United States has been doing everything it can to prolong the conflict and make it even more violent,” the Russian foreign minister said.

According to Lavrov, the Pentagon has been openly planning orders for the US defense sector for years to come, while constantly raising the bar of military expenses for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and demanding the same from other members of the anti-Russian alliance. “The Kiev regime is being pumped up with the latest weapons, receiving samples that have yet to enter into service with Western armies, seemingly in order to see how they will perform in combat,” he concluded.

Since February, Kiev has been given military assistance of over $40 billion, a sum equal to the defense budgets of many European countries, Lavrov said.

US, NATO seeking Russia’s defeat on battlefield

The United States and its NATO allies are seeking to win a victory over Russia on the `battlefield’ to destroy our country, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told TASS in an interview.

“The actions by the collective West and their puppet [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky confirm the global nature of the Ukrainian crisis. It is no secret that the strategic goal of the US and its NATO allies is to win a victory over Russia on the battlefield as a mechanism of weakening or even destroying our country,” Lavrov said. “Our opponents will just do about anything to achieve this goal,” he added.

According to Russia’s top diplomat, the beneficiary of a ‘hot conflict’ is the United States who has been seeking to get the most out of it both economically and strategically. “Washington has also been solving a key geopolitical goal of breaking the traditional bonds between Russia and Europe and making their European satellites even more dependent on them,” Lavrov emphasized.
