EU and NATO forming coalition ‘for war against Russia’ – Lavrov
Russia will ‘closely follow’ the steps taken by the European Union, the Russian foreign minister said
The actions taken by the EU and NATO essentially amount to the formation of a “new coalition” targeting Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told journalists on Friday, comparing the steps taken by Brussels to the actions of Nazi dictator Adolf Hilter before attacking the Soviet Union.
Moscow has “no illusions” about the prospect of “Russophobic sentiments” within the EU dissipating any time soon, Lavrov said. Russia will closely follow all the “real steps” taken by the bloc and its candidate states, he added in a probable reference to Ukraine, which was granted EU candidacy status on Thursday.
“Hitler rallied a significant part, if not most, of the European nations under his banner for a war against the Soviet Union,” the foreign minister said, adding that “now, the EU together with NATO are forming another – modern – coalition for a standoff and, ultimately, war with the Russian Federation.”

BREAKING: Russia has reportedly removed two key military figures Andrei Serdyukov and Aleksandr Dvornikov from operational command roles
#Ukrainian military asks you not to report whether #Ukraine forces have either left… or entered a settlement, BEFORE the General Staff announces it. Because it harms military operations, as was the case yesterday in Severodonetsk. SILENCE IS GOLDEN.
