"We have little illusions that the current Russophobic nature of the European Union will somehow dissolve or change in the foreseeable future, and frankly, in the long run,"

Lavrov

said at a press conference in Baku.

According to him, the path chosen by the Europeans is reminiscent of the beginning of World War II, when

Hitler

"gathered under his banner a significant, if not most of the European countries to fight against the Soviet Union."

“Now, including, the European Union and NATO are assembling such a modern coalition to fight, and by and large, war with the Russian Federation.

We will look at all this very carefully, ”Siarhei Lavrou said.

Commenting on the decision of the EU summit to give Ukraine and Moldova the status of candidates for EU membership, Lavrov said that it does not pose a threat to Russia, because, unlike NATO, the European Union is not a military union.
