    he must have confused it with russia. Russia, Sergey, Russia is the empire of lies. Your whole fucking country runs on lies since centuries…

    Also you should be pretty happy that we are only involved with arms, humanitarian and funding support for ukraine in this war. If our troops would have boots on the ground, your army wouldn’t have last a week in this country.

        Nothing will stop them from saying they “really made it in 3 days and they won this war the west has started”…. Just wait some and you will see the amount of bullshit their propaganda will be spreading because they don’t know any better and never did….

    He is such a disappointment. He has become a bizzare caricature. Really hard to see a human become so devoid of humanity, of reason, of principle,…

    Its probably that he has always been like that, but I didn’t see. I’m disappointed at myself.

      Constant fear of falling out of a window will do that to a person. Reading through Krushchev’s memoirs are an interesting, albeit extremely wordy, window into what it is like to work for one of the worlds foremost despots. He despised Stalin and considered him to be evil, yet willingly signed the death warrants of his own friends and family out of fear that if he did not, the next one would be his own. Unfortunately, the blood on one’s hands is not washed away by fear.

    Since I just had this quote at hand …

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum

    In February 2016, Sergey Lavrov claimed, “Russia never violated Budapest memorandum. It contained only one obligation, not to attack Ukraine with nukes.”[38] However, Canadian journalist Michael Colborne pointed out that “there are actually six obligations in the Budapest Memorandum, and the first of them is ‘to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine’”. Colborne also pointed out that a broadcast of Lavrov’s claim on the Twitter account of Russia’s embassy in the United Kingdom actually “provided a link to the text of the Budapest Memorandum itself with all six obligations, including the ones Russia has clearly violated – right there for everyone to see.”

    As so often, it’s probably not actually directed at the western audience, but at Russians in Russia. Give them something to feel just and superior. Given how numerous and blatant his lies are, this rather shows he thinks of them as uneducated and gullible.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “In the speeches of many speakers who spoke before me, the idea was already voiced that our common planet is undergoing irreversible changes, and a new world order is being born before our eyes,” Lavrov said in his address to fellow member states.

    “The contours of the future are being created in the struggle between the world majority, who advocate a more equitable distribution of global wealth and civilizational diversity, and between those few who use neocolonial methods of subjugation to maintain their elusive dominance.”

    “We can call this a hybrid war but that doesn’t change the reality,” Lavrov told journalists, adding, “They are effectively engaged in hostilities with us using the Ukrainians as fodder.”

    The plan does not contemplate ceding Ukrainian territory to Russia or abandoning Kyiv’s efforts to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization – two sticking points for Moscow.

    The now-collapsed deal had allowed Ukraine to export much-needed grain by sea, with ships bypassing a Russian blockade in order to reach global markets.

    Among the many proposed reforms to the UN from various corners, Ukraine has said Russia should be stripped of its Security Council veto power and expelled from the organization for breaching a fundamental tenet of the UN – violating the territorial sovereignty of a fellow member-state.


    The original article contains 515 words, the summary contains 212 words. Saved 59%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
