Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov launched a blistering attack on European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing the West of escalating the Ukraine conflict and undermining prospects for negotiations. Lavrov claimed European powers are pushing unrealistic demands on Moscow while backing Kyiv's hardline position. He also warned that Russia would uphold its security commitments to Belarus amid rising tensions following Zelensky's remarks regarding military infrastructure near the Belarusian border. The comments come as Moscow and Minsk signal closer coordination, fueling concerns over the future trajectory of the Russia-Ukraine war and broader European security.
