Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Europe of embracing militarization and ideological warfare in its posture toward Russia. He claimed the EU was displaying “global arrogance” and using propaganda reminiscent of Goebbels to incite fear and hostility. Lavrov warned that continued provocations by Kyiv would be met with firm responses, asserting Russia’s commitment to achieving its stated objectives despite Western opposition. In contrast, he praised the Trump administration’s willingness to engage in dialogue.
