The Russian Foreign Minister claims that Western countries have declared war on the Kremlin.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Russia has no intention of approaching the West to negotiate, despite the expectations of Western countries. He made this statement to reporters on the sidelines of the “United Russia” party convention on August 22.

“All Western states that declared war on us through the actions of the Nazi regime in Kyiv have for many years hoped that we would come to them to negotiate. We will not come to them to negotiate,” said the Russian foreign minister.
