Europe directly prepares for war with Russia using Kiev authorities — Lavrov

European elites are using the Kiev authorities to fight against Russia and are directly preparing for war, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

"When, as is the case with most European elites, they have swapped their own interests for those of the Ukrainian authorities and are using them in every possible way to fight against Russia without hiding it, and are directly preparing for a war, then, probably, the attitude toward them will be shaped accordingly," Lavrov said.
