Lavrov says West declared Russia on ‘total war’

As Moscow continues its military campaign in Ukraine, Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Western countries of committing a “total war” on Russia, its people, and culture.

“The West has declared war on us, on the whole Russian world. The culture of cancelling Russia and everything connected with our country is already reaching the point of absurdity,” At a ministry meeting, Lavrov stated.

He accused the West of prohibiting Russian authors, composers, and other cultural luminaries from entering the country.

He went on to remark, It is safe to say that this situation will be with us for a long time.”

“Washington and its satellites are doubling, tripling, quadrupling their efforts to contain our country,” according to Lavrov.

They’re “using the widest range of tools — from unilateral economic sanctions to thoroughly false propaganda in the global media space,” he added.

“In many Western countries, everyday Russophobia has become of an unprecedented nature, and, to our great regret, is encouraged by government circles in a number of countries,” Lavrov said.
