Lavrov sounds even more insane than Putin.
They are all drinking from the same Soviet punch bowl.
At this point, no one should be listening to what Russians are saying. It does not matter what they say.
It should be clear to anyone with half a brain that their objective is to exterminate Ukrainians.
But thanks to spineless NATO (No Army To Operate), Putin will continue to bleed Ukraine.
This whole situation is truly Orwellian.
We are not at war -> meaning: we are at war
We don't bomb civilian targets -> meaning: we specifically target civilian areas
We don't want to occupy Ukraine -> meaning: you bet your ass that we will annex Ukraine to Russia
We don't fire at nuclear power stations -> meaning: we did bomb them a little bit
We want peace -> meaning: there will be no peace until we win
We want to denazify Ukraine -> meaning: we need to kill all Ukrainians
We want to demilitarize Ukraine -> meaning: we need to destroy all Ukrainian army and all armed, civilian opposition
We will drop nuclear bombs on anyone who helps Ukraine -> meaning: our nuclear arsenal does not work, but you don't know about it, so...
We have the 2nd best army in the world -> meaning: we wish, but due to ongoing corruption, the state of our army is at the 1990s level
We want to negotiate -> meaning: we want Ukraine to surrender
We want to open safe corridors for civilians -> meaning: we want to know where the civilian convoys are so that we can vaporize them
The list go on...
