Europe borrows anti-Russia tactics from Nazi Germany: Lavrov
Russia’s foreign minister says the West has declared a “total war” against his country, employing tactics comparable to those of the Nazi Germany.
“They have declared a true hybrid war, a total war against us,” Sergei Lavrov said on Friday, denouncing Europe’s historic sanctions against Russia.
The Western sanctions machine has been working at full throttle against Russia since President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in Ukraine on February 24 in an effort to “de-militarize” and “de-Nazify” the neighboring country.
Lavrov said European officials were making no secret of their goals: to “destroy, break, annihilate and suffocate the economy and Russia as a whole.”
Lavrov said the term “total war” has been borrowed from Adolf Hitler’s playbook. It is now used by many European politicians “when they say what they want to do with Russia,” he added.
The Russian foreign minister echoed Putin’s remarks in denunciation of the West’s economic “blitzkrieg.”
President Putin has also likened the West’s punitive measures to “anti-Semitic pogroms carried out by Nazis,” saying that Western governments were working to weaken Russia with the help of “national traitors.”
