The Russian Foreign Ministry on Saturday bemoaned the “hypocrisy” of the European Union, after criticizing Lavrov for “anti-Semitic” statements.
European diplomacy chief Josep Borrell criticized Russian Foreign Minister Serguei Lavrov, who said the European Union was forming a Western “coalition” to “solve the Russian question”, similar to the “final solution” of Adolf Hitler to Exterminate the Jews.
Borrell said these statements add to “Minister Lavrov’s anti-Semitic remarks”.
In response, Russia accused Borrell of leading an exercise in “hypocrisy”, recalling the statements of the head of EU diplomacy, which divided the world into “a flower garden”, inhabited by 1,000 million Europeans, and ” a jungle that evolves”. about this”, referring to Moscow.
These statements were made by Borrell in 2022 and were criticized by countries such as the United Arab Emirates.
