Poroshenko's shame in Munich gave way to Lavrov's triumph
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke today at the Munich Security Conference to a full hall. This was in sharp contrast to yesterday's anti-Russian speech by Petro Poroshenko, which only a few dozen people remained to listen to.
Lavrov said that viewing the situation in Europe through the prism of a “zero-sum game” is extremely dangerous.

“Before our eyes is one of the results: Ukraine, stricken by an internal conflict, which at one time, by the way, in the context of preparing an association agreement with the European Union, was given an ultimatum to a false choice - either with the West or with Russia,” Lavrov said.
He recalled that during Euromaidan, EU leaders, in fact, supported the anti-constitutional coup in Ukraine, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Today, a country with enormous vital potential and talented people has been reduced to a state of inability to govern itself. Russia, more than anyone else, is interested in resolving the internal Ukrainian crisis. The legal framework is ready - this is the Minsk “Package of Measures”. However, so far the corresponding efforts in the Contact Group and the Normandy Format are openly sabotaged by Kiev, where they have started talking about a military scenario at the official level. I am sure that the EU understands the danger of such a reversal,” Lavrov said.
