Article by Sputnik International - 15th November:
LAVROV: OTHER COUNTRIES REALISE WASHINGTON PROVOKED UKRAINE CONFLICT DESPITE U.S. CLAIMS.
On February 24, Russia launched the ongoing special military operation in Ukraine following the Donbass republics’ request to protect them from Kiev's provocations.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated that despite US claims made at the G20 Summit, other countries are coming to realise the fact that the Ukraine conflict had been provoked by Washington.
The remarks come as Lavrov told Sputnik during a G20 press conference in Bali that the EU and NATO have been involved in a hybrid war in Ukraine for a long time.
He said that the West continues to supply Ukraine with weapons and supports it with militarily means even though European leaders are talking about the need to reach a peaceful settlement.
"The European Union and NATO have long been hybrid participants in a hybrid conflict, a hybrid war in Ukraine — this includes arms supplies, the training of military personnel […]. As for the specific decision of the EU to launch this military training mission, there is some kind of dual personality, because in parallel with this, [French President Emmanuel] Macron and [German Chancellor Olaf] Scholz, and other leaders of European countries talk about the need to move to a peaceful settlement. Some kind of politically split personality,” Lavrov said.
The minister added that the West also provides Ukraine with intelligence, and that US officers participate in determining military targets. According to him, “this is the work of instructors on the ground, not to mention thousands of mercenaries.”
Speaking to reporters, Lavrov also said that French President Emmanuel Macron had confirmed his intention to continue contacts with Russian President Vladimir Putin in order to find ways to resolve the Ukraine conflict.
“As I have said, today I had a brief conversation with President Macron, who confirmed his desire to continue communicating with President Putin to find some agreements that would help resolve the whole situation, as he has put it”, the Russian foreign minister pointed out.
The top Russian diplomat said that Moscow is not in the know about the US preparing negotiations on Ukraine.
"As for reports that the Americans are preparing [such] negotiations, these rumours constantly pop up and then disappear with the same success, we no longer react to this," Lavrov emphasised.
Lavrov added that Moscow wants to see “concrete evidence that the West is seriously interested in disciplining [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky and explaining to him that this cannot continue and that it is not in the interests of the Ukrainian people”.
The Russian foreign minister noted that the 20-minute pre-recorded speech by Zelensky broadcast at the G20 Summit indicates that "he is not listening to any Western advice yet."
This comes after Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Zelensky's G20 remarks confirm Kiev’s unwillingness to negotiate with Russia. Peskov underscored that Russia had repeatedly indicated that it is ready for negotiations, but that Ukrainian authorities had imposed a ban on the talks at the legislative level.
In his address to the G20 Summit, Zelensky, in particular, called for a prisoner exchange on an “all-for-all” basis. In addition, the Ukrainian leader put forward a number of conditions, including the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, the fulfilment of which he claimed should end the Ukraine conflict “justly, [and] on the basis of the UN Charter and international law.”
On February 24, Moscow launched a special military operation in Ukraine after the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, which have since become part of Russia, appealed for help in defending them from Kiev's attacks.

SUPPORTING SCOTT RITTER
I've been listening to Scott Ritter describe how things are for him and I suspect have been for him for quite some time now.
He has been doing a LOT of unpaid work with a great many interview requests coming in that he has been ready and willing to agree to. But the work where receives some pay for have suffered due to this, being left until the wee small hours of the night to complete work on.
Scott, I think you will agree, has been one of the most influential voices out there on Russia and Ukraine.
I was moved by Scott's words to take an annual subscription to his Substack account that he runs in coordination with his colleague on 'U.S. Tour of Duty', Jeff Norman. This is the main way that Scott recommends to help him with finances with which to upgrade his delivery of comment on Russia and Ukraine, via a better microphone etc. and perhaps the creation of a recording studio in his basement to create a more professional and impressive look. To invest in these things he would like to be sure that this has a viable financial future.
Would you also like to help by subscribing at one of the various levels to Scott's Substack account? I hope so. If so the link is here:
Below you'll find the edited part of the video where Scott talks of his commitments to get the facts out on events in Ukraine and of the finances that would come in handy to enhance their delivery:

VICTORY BELONGS TO RUSSIA: IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
Each day that passes makes a conclusive Russian victory in the Donbass and beyond more certain. As Russia bolsters her forces, and weaponry, those of Ukraine decrease. Russian forces gain ready access to rest and recuperation as troop numbers increase. The increasingly exhausted and demoralised Ukrainian troops have an ever decreasing prospect of such respite. This situation is likely to bring them to complete breakdown as Russia unleashes the firepower of the more modern and advanced weaponry that is arriving with the newly mobilised Russian troops.
The various Ukrainian offensives are now weak when confronted by the reinforced Russian lines. A few futile efforts achieve quite miserable results before fire reigns down on the Ukrainian troops and they are forced back to their starting positions.
And now, all this being said, we have arrived at the wet, and later, freezing conditions where these pathetic Ukrainian forces will be subject to myriad forms of abject misery with death and injury all around them while they lie sodden or frozen, abandoned to their fate by Kiev.
The pitiable young and old of Ukraine have been frogmarched to their deaths as cannon-fodder while the bestial elites of the collective West urge their "president" to add more to their number there at the gates of Hell and their doom. We must feel for the majority of them as they are not the Nazis we revile, in most part they are decent men, fathers, sons, brothers, husband and uncles, who no doubt saw through the coup of 2014 for what it was. But sadly, their fate seems sealed.
Nothing will stop Russia now. Every factor favours them. Victory will be Russia's. In Donbass and beyond and in due course across the world.
Victory belongs to Russia: It is now only a matter of time.
