The Kremlin is trying to sow the division between the US and Europe / day
According to the thinker, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently accused « almost all of Europe » that they are trying to pull the war in Ukraine and promotes « Nazism’s rehabilitation ». The Minister also continued falsely depicting the Ukrainian authorities as neo -Nazi.
Lavrov claimed that Europeans « caused » « » all the tragedies of mankind until 1939, including World War II, « and that the elites that are currently in power in most European Union (EU) and NATO countries retain » instincts « to cause these tragedies.
Meanwhile, Kirill Logvinov, Director of the International Organizations of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said Russia continues to consider the potential European peacekeeping contingent in Ukraine unacceptable and criticized British and France’s efforts to create such a contingent.
Logvinov also accused European countries, specifically the European elite, causing war in Ukraine and continuing to continue it, according to an ISW report.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, criticized European countries for the supposedly « Russophobia » in the war context, and threatened Europe with Russian rockets.
Medvedev regularly releases extreme statements to convince the West to act in line with Russia.
These statements are part of the broader Kremlin efforts to falsely depict European countries as those who want to continue the war, contrary to the US efforts to temporarily cease to cease and ultimately complete peace in Ukraine, ISW analysts say.
ISW believes that this Russia’s rhetoric aims to undermine Western unity in support of Ukraine.
