End of cooperation with the European Union – “The West is waging a hybrid war against Moscow”, said the Russian Foreign Minister
“Unnamed officials in Washington are threatening the physical extermination of the head of the Russian state,” he told the agency. TASS Sergey Lavrov, stressing that “if some people think this way, if they think such thoughts, they should also calculate the consequences”.
“This essentially constitutes a threat to assassinate the Russian president (Vladimir Putin)”, added the head of Russian diplomacy, referring to “hybrid war waged by the West, as characteristically pointed out, also to the Tass agency, at Moscow.
Mr Lavrov also touched on relations with the European Union, which he accused of “following orders” from the US, saying Moscow was no longer willing to do any joint work with the Europeans.
According to Russia’s chief diplomat, relations between Moscow and the EU are at “historic lows” for what he said are known reasons. “Shortly after the start of the special military operation, Brussels followed in the footsteps of the US and NATO to wage a hybrid war against us. The head of EU diplomacy Josep Borrell he was one of the first to call for Russia’s defeat on the battlefield,” Lavrov said.
“Thank God, the world is not just the European Union for us and we have many friends and like-minded nations elsewhere,” he added.
USA and NATO want to destroy Russia
The US and its NATO allies, along with Ukraine, want to defeat Russia “on the battlefield” to destroy it, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told state-run TASS news agency in statements published yesterday.
“The actions of the countries of the collective West and the (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskywhich are under their control, confirm the global nature of the Ukrainian crisis,” Lavrov said.
“It is no secret to anyone that the strategic goal of the US and its NATO allies is to defeat Russia on the battlefield as a mechanism of significant weakening or even destruction of our country,” the head of Russian diplomacy asserted.
He repeated that Russia and USA they cannot maintain a normal relationship, blaming the administration of US President Joe Biden. “It is objectively impossible to maintain normal communication with the Biden administration, which declares its goal to inflict a strategic defeat on our country,” Lavrov said.

At the same time, he gave an ultimatum to Kyiv to satisfy Moscow’s demands for a settlement, otherwise the issue will be resolved by the Russian army.
