The Russian foreign minister compared current US policies to those of Napoleon and Hitler towards the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, respectively.
The attack is frontal. In Moscow this morning, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov slammed US policy towards them, which he said could be compared to that of Napoleon or Hitler.
“What is happening now is the result of years of preparation by the United States and its satellites, who want a hybrid war against Russia,” he began.
Napoleon and Hitler
Subsequently, the minister drew a historical parallel, believing that “just as Napoleon mobilized almost all of Europe against the Russian Empire, Hitler conquered part of the European countries and used them against the Soviet Union,” the United States “created a coalition with almost all of them European countries that are members of NATO and the EU.”
“By using Ukraine, they are fomenting a war with the same goal, that of a ‘final solution’ to the Russian question. Just as Hitler wanted a ‘final solution’ to the Jewish question,” he says.
Last year Sergei Lavrov caused an outcry when he claimed that Adolf Hitler had “Jewish blood” and forced Vladimir Putin to apologize to the Israeli prime minister.
The head of Russia’s diplomacy also reiterated on Wednesday that Moscow is ready to consider any “serious proposal” for Western negotiations to settle the Ukraine conflict.
