MOSCOW, October 25. /TASS/. The US-led West is pushing ahead with a hybrid war against Russia and, in an effort to ruin the country, is increasing arms supplies and providing intelligence to the Kiev regime, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in his address to the plenary session of the 24th World Russian People's Council, read out by the Foreign Ministry’s special ambassador, Gennady Askoldovich.
"The West is using [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky’s criminal Russophobic regime as one of the levers to contain our country. We see Washington and its NATO allies increasing the supplies of lethal weapons to the Ukrainian neo-Nazis, sharing intelligence data with them and recruiting foreign mercenaries to send to Ukraine. All this, in one way or another, makes them parties to the conflict," Lavrov’s address reads.
