Lavrov recalled how Germany fell under the Maidan protesters
Germany and many other European countries that helped Ukraine carry out the coup d’etat prefer not to remember the inconvenient facts of February 2014.
Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergei Lavrov stated this during a press conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We understand that there are sanctions, there is a position that Germany took after the coup in Ukraine. Which, in fact, took place in a situation where Germany’s position was ignored, and the putschists treated Germany as some kind of non-existent quantity. Germany guaranteed the agreement, which the revolutionaries tore up.
Unfortunately, Germany, along with other European countries, then simply threw up its hands, resigned itself to an illegal act committed against its own will and contrary to its own signature, and began to consider the Ukrainian crisis exclusively from the point when Russia responded to the will of the inhabitants of Crimea, and Crimea after the referendum returned to the Russian Federation,” Lavrov said.
“This is the problem – the starting point. Our Western colleagues think from here. And the way this coup was carried out, the way the leaders of this coup immediately adopted a law that abolishes the rights of the Russian-speaking population, how immediately these putschists from national radical organizations demanded that the Russians get out of Crimea, all this does not count, this everything was “before that”. But the West was upset only when the Crimeans did what they dreamed of decades after the collapse of the USSR,” added the Foreign Ministry representative.
