Nevertheless Russia’s Overseas Minister Sergei Lavrov has advised the BBC: “We did not invade Ukraine”.
Mr Lavrov, who’s certainly one of President Putin’s closest allies mentioned: “We declared a particular navy operation as a result of we had completely no different method of explaining to the West that dragging Ukraine into Nato was a felony act.”
He repeated the official Kremlin line that there have been Nazis in Ukraine. Russian officers usually declare that their navy is “de-Nazifying” the nation.
