Russian PM: Russia Doesn’t Want War in Europe

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that Moscow does not want war in Europe, but is interested in seeing Western countries defeated in Russia’s military action in Ukraine.

“If you’re worried about the possibility of war in Europe, we don’t want any of that,” Lavrov said at a press conference in Muscat after meeting with his Omani counterpart.

However, I draw your attention to the fact that the West constantly and persistently says that in this case it is necessary to defeat Russia. Draw your own conclusions,” he said.
