Lavrov Claims Trump Misinformed on Ukraine War
(MENAFN) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has asserted that U.S. Leader Donald Trump is being misinformed about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Lavrov suggested that individuals in Washington who are advocating for stronger backing of the Kiev administration and encouraging a more confrontational approach toward Moscow are responsible for distorting the information Trump receives.
Lavrov’s statement came in the wake of recent sharp criticisms from Trump targeting Russia.
Over the past week, the U.S. leader condemned Russian military actions in Ukraine, alleging that Leader Vladimir Putin had “gone absolutely crazy” and was directing “missiles and drones into cities in Ukraine for no reason whatsoever.”
Trump further cautioned that Putin was “playing with fire.”
When asked about Trump’s remarks by a journalist , Lavrov responded: “One thing is clear – Donald Trump and those who actually make decisions regarding the Ukraine conflict in particular, are not being told everything.”
He elaborated that “the information he [Trump] is given is filtered through a sieve, which is prepared by those who want to draw America into more aggressive action against Russia, in support of the Kiev regime.”
Russia’s chief diplomat concluded by stating that Moscow intends “to correct” the issue of selective information being relayed to Trump, implying that the Kremlin seeks to provide a more comprehensive picture of the situation.
