Lavrov pointed to Europe, which has again turned against Russia.

European countries have once again "taken wing" against Russia. This was stated on April 9 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview with TASS.

"We are witnessing another wave when Europe has turned against itself, and looking at some faces, I would like to say that it has once again become inspired by our country," he said.

He also recalled that all the world's tragedies began with aggressive actions on the part of the Europeans.

"After all, before the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, in the Second World War, all the world's tragedies began with the aggressive actions of Europeans: the Napoleonic Wars, the First World War, and the Second World War," Lavrov pointed out.

Shame and fear: the West does not want to see its politicians celebrating the victory over Nazism

Recognizing Russia as the winner hurts

On April 8, Lavrov said that attempts are being made in the West to belittle the role of the USSR in the victory in World War II and justify the crimes of the Nazis. The head of the department stressed that preserving the truth about the Second World War is a common duty to those who gave their lives for peace and freedom.
