Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the West destroyed the European security system in pursuit of what he called the 'utopian goal' of containing Russia, according to TASS.
Lavrov said this pursuit also fostered what he described as a 'Russophobic regime' in Kyiv, a characterization Ukraine's government and its Western allies reject.
The comments are part of a broader set of statements Lavrov made blaming Western policy for the deterioration of European security and the war in Ukraine.
TASS did not report a response from Western officials to Lavrov's remarks.
