Lavrov says Ukrainian militants are trying to shift the blame for their crimes to Russia

The West ignored all Russian statements about the inadmissibility of military incidents that threaten the inhabitants of Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said this at a meeting with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu.

They discussed the situation in Ukraine, the political magazine PolitExpert reports. Diplomats once again raised the topic of war crimes committed by Kiev militants.

Now they are cynically destroying people whom they call their own and whom they must protect. At the same time, this is all done for the sake of the picture and to blame the Russian troops, as well as the forces of the People’s Militia of the LPR and DPR, for the deaths and destruction.

“Russia records cases when Ukrainian militants pass off their crimes as the actions of the Russian Armed Forces,” Lavrov said.

At the same time, since the beginning of the special operation for denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine, Russia has repeatedly said and demonstrated by deed that only military facilities are targeted. It is they who are destroyed by precise strikes, and residential areas of Ukrainian cities often suffer from Ukrainian Nazis. In addition, they deliberately set up positions among civilian infrastructure and hide behind the population.
