United Nations, New York —Western powers through their support for Ukraine are “de facto” fighting against Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister
“You can call it anything you want, but they are fighting with us, they are straight-up fighting with us,” Lavrov told journalists at the United Nations.Westerners are “de facto fighting against us, using the hands and bodies of Ukrainians,” Lavrov said, pointing to the billions of dollars in Western military equipment provided to Kyiv since Russia attacked last year.
“On the left flank we have a breakthrough, and we continue to advance further,” he told CNN in an interview released Friday. But Kyiv has in recent weeks reported making strategic advances in the Zaporizhzhia region. And Tarnavskiy did not accept that Ukraine’s push could be further slowed in the coming winter months.
“Are the Ukrainian people happy about the prospect of a long war of attrition?” he wrote Saturday on X, formerly Twitter. “Absolutely not.The Tarnavskiy interview was published a day after Kyiv struck Russia’s Black Sea Fleet headquarters in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, claiming to have killed “senior” commanders.Kyiv’s intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said the attack killed “at least nine people”, including generals, in comments to Voice of America.
Strikes on Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, improved morale for Ukrainian troops, he added. “It helps us, but it also gives us hope for the future.”
