Sergei Lavrov claimed that Ukraine’s Government had tried to ban the use of Russian – prompting the Kremlin to invade in order to protect Russian speakers. 🔴 He argued that the UK would do the same if Ireland banned its people from speaking English
as he attempted to argue that Russia had only done what any other country would when it invaded Ukraine.
He argued that the UK would do the same if Ireland banned its people from speaking English, and that France would invade Belgium if it banned the French language, according to a British government source who described the argument as a “false parallel”.said: “This morning at the G20 we saw international condemnation of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Most of the world leaders who spoke at the opening session of the gathering made a direct reference to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, although a number of them are officially neutral on the conflict. The G20 is working on a joint statement which would include a call for peace, although any direct condemnation of the Kremlin could be vetoed by Russia’s representatives.
The Prime Minister added: “Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine has profound implications for us all, because it has undermined the fundamental principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity. We all depend on these principles. They are the foundations of the international order. They must be upheld.
