No facts for accusations against Russia — Lavrov
It seems to me that concealing of facts is characteristic of the United States and some European countries over what is happening in Ukraine, he says
MOSCOW, August 29./ITAR-TASS/. Accusations against Russia of invading Ukraine are voiced repeatedly, but nobody has presented facts, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday after the meeting with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif.
“It is not the first time when accusations addressed to us are heard. Since the beginning of the crisis, we have been accused, that we are to blame for everything".
“No facts have been presented to us either about ‘invasion’ or other issues,” Lavrov said. “It seems to me that concealing of facts is characteristic of the United States and some European countries over what is happening in Ukraine.”
There is not even one fact to confirm all the statements, the Russian minister said, adding that on every occasion the Russian side asked American and Western European colleagues to substantiate such accusations.
