Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Europe is making every effort to disrupt potential peace talks on Ukraine, according to remarks reported by TASS.
Lavrov said the West is 'pumping the Ukrainian regime with weapons' while also helping Kyiv 'target drones and missiles at civilians and civilian infrastructure,' a characterization Ukraine and its Western allies dispute, saying their support is defensive.
The remarks are consistent with a series of statements Lavrov made blaming Western governments for prolonging the war and obstructing a negotiated settlement.
TASS did not report a response from European officials or Ukraine to Lavrov's comments.
