Lavrov's Dire Warning: West Aims to 'Eliminate' Russia, Says Foreign Minister

Hiroshima G7 Summit: Lavrov Warns of West's Goal to 'Eliminate' Russia The G7 summit in Hiroshima has highlighted growing tensions between Russia and the West. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's recent speech, captured in a short video, reveals a stark warning about the West's intentions. Lavrov claims that the West's objective is not just to defeat Russia militarily, but to completely eliminate it as a geopolitical competitor. "The task is stated loudly and openly: to defeat Russia on the battlefield," Lavrov states in the video. He further emphasizes that the West aims to remove Russia as a significant player in global politics. This statement underscores the severity of the situation and the potential for further escalation. The video, while short, provides a direct insight into the Kremlin's perspective on the ongoing conflict and the perceived threat from the West. The G7 summit's focus on Ukraine and the ongoing war adds context to Lavrov's concerning remarks.
