Trump’s war, not Biden’s: Lavrov offended by US president

Moscow was disappointed in Trump, who never helped force Ukraine to capitulate.

Russian aggression against Ukraine is not only “Biden’s war”, but also “Trump’s war”, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with journalists.

Thus, the Russian diplomat noted that over the past year, there have been numerous contacts between Moscow and Washington in various formats, including at the level of heads of state. And the Kremlin believed that the White House was their like-minded person on issues of Russian aggression against Ukraine.

“Our colleagues told us all the time, and Donald Trump emphasized publicly: ‘If I were president, there would be no war in Ukraine. This is Biden’s war, no one needs it, people are dying,’ and so on,” Lavrov emphasized.

However, the recent statement by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that the US supports Ukraine, according to Lavrov, indicates that “Biden’s war has become Trump’s war.”

“Especially, they, you know, have a budget in the Pentagon, and there is a section there about support for Ukraine through the Pentagon,” the Russian Foreign Minister added.

  1. Lavrov was assembled by mad scientists using a mixture of toxic waste, Hitler’s DNA and a pile of putrefying dog shit.

    • He is right this time and let’s hope all this mediator BS stops now and the USA can be the shining city on a hill again and defend democracy and independence in Ukraine.

      • Are you joking? The USA under the orange prick is not even close being a shining city that defends democracy and independence in Ukraine. The range bastard is disassembling our own democracy and independence.

  2. He’s wrong on all counts. It was never Biden’s war or Trump’s war. It’s 100% putler’s war.
