1:10Now PlayingRussia’s foreign minister on Thursday accused the West of becoming directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine by supplying it with weapons and training its soldiers.
Sergey Lavrov also charged that Russia’s strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities and other key infrastructure that have left millions without power, heating and water were intended to weaken Ukraine’s military potential and derail the shipments of Western weapons.
“You shouldn't say that the US and NATO aren’t taking part in this war, you are directly participating in it,” Lavrov said in a video call with reporters. “And not just by providing weapons but also by training personnel. You are training their military on your territory, on the territories of Britain, Germany, Italy and other countries.”
He said that the barrage of Russian missile strikes was intended to target "energy facilities that allow you to keep pumping deadly weapons into Ukraine in order to kill the Russians.”
Lavrov insisted that Moscow remains open for talks on ending the conflict.
“We never asked for talks but always said that we are ready to listen to those who are interested in a negotiated settlement,” Lavrov added.
