The Ukrainian crisis was arranged by the West as a war against Russia, led by Kiev, said Russian abroad Minister Sergei Lavrow.
A associate of the Diplomacy made these remarks on Thursday during a G20 ministerial gathering held at the margins of the UN General Assembly in fresh York City.Non-compliance with the United Nations Charter "neocolonial ambition", provokes regional wars and increases global tensions, said Lavrow, citing decades of unresolved conflicts in Africa and another parts of the world."Another clear example is the crisis caused by the West in Ukraine, through which NATO and the European Union want to declare a real war on my country and straight participate" – added the head of diplomacy.Moscow consistently defines the conflict in Ukraine as the replacement war of the West against Russia, in which Kiev's forces are utilized as ‘gun meat’.Russia has repeatedly condemned military aid to Kiev, accusing the West, in peculiar the EU, of militarisation and aggressive rhetoric.Russian officials besides argued that the West has been escalating tensions in the region for many years, ignoring Moscow's long-standing concerns about NATO's expansion to the east.
They point to the expanding cooperation of the military bloc with Ukraine, which accelerated after the Majdan coup in Kiev in 2014 and the resulting conflict in the then Ukrainian Donbasa.
