Russian FM Sergey Lavrov's remarks following talks with Turkish FM Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu (Moscow, March 16, 2022)
💬 For eight years, Ukraine violated the Minsk agreements and resorted to bombing and shelling orphanages and kindergartens, schools and hospitals. However, the West did not show any sympathy for the victims or give any response.
The same applies to the attack on central Donetsk with the Tochka-U cluster munition, instantly killing 20 people (more were wounded), did not evoke any compassion, either.
The max coverage that I've seen was showing the location where it fell, and claiming that this was done by the Russian military, who ostensibly attacked a residential area controlled by the Ukrainian army.
❗️ During all contacts with our Western colleagues, we say that these outrageous and inhuman double standards are unacceptable.
I had a conversation with a European leader the other day. He said: “I have taken note of your version of the incident.” This requires no comment.
