A crowd laughed at Russia's top diplomat when he said the Ukraine war "was launched against us."
An audience member at India's G20 summit shouted "come on!" at Sergey Lavrov during the event. He was answering a question about Russia's energy strategy moving forward.
Sergey Lavrov, Russia's top diplomat and a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a conference in India Thursday said that the war in Ukraine "was launched against us," prompting the crowd to erupt in laughter.
Lavrov was a speaker at India's G20 Summit in New Delhi, leading a session that was part of a "Raisina Dialogue 2023" series. He was in discussion with Sunjoy Joshi, Chairman of the Observer Research Foundation in India, and took questions from the audience.
One audience member asked Lavrov: "How the war has affected Russia's strategy on energy, and will it mark a privilege toward Asia? And if it does, how is India going to feature in it?"
"You know, the war, which we are trying to stop, which was launched against us, using the..." Lavrov began, before being cut off by loud laughter from the crowd.
"...The Ukrainian people, uh, of course, influenced..." Lavrov tried again, before being cut off by more laughter and a shout of "Come on!" from the crowd.

Hmmm...
Talking to that paid troll guy is a waste of time and the reason there should be an IGNORE button on FR.
Wonder if they will still be laughing when WWIII really goes hot and it’s not just Russians and Ukrainians dying. That smug facade wont last forever.
Blood libel the khazarian mafia swore a long, long time ago. They are the ones that forced it on the entire world, and the human race.
“We promised Russia in 1991 that if they gave up Ukraine, NATO would never put weapons on their border.”
And what treaty or agreement is that called?
Compare and contrast Weimar Germany, and after the Rothschild central bank was kicked out.
Sadly he would be taken more seriously here.
Hi. You got my attention and I just spent an enjoyable time reading your posts. We don’t agree on everything but I do like that you convey yourself politely and you have a good grasp of various topics.
Nice to meet you!

It’s the one where the Ukraine handed over all their nukes
on the promise Russia would never invade.
Agree100%
I think it would be best if you make some sort of statement
about how you see those periods melding in a like manner.
My interpretation may not come close to what is on your
mind.
They cannot reason.
It’s all emotion.
Yes, like our Zeepers!
You mean all us Jews? Or a certain group?
1. Please name the agreement and where it can be cited.
2. Russia broke the agreement so what’s the point?
“Russia broke the agreement so what’s the point?”
Seriously? There needs to be another point?
You may be looking for the Minsk I and Minsk II agreements.

You may also looking for the Budapest Memorandum:
That’s the one where the Ukraine agreed to give up its nukes
for a guarantee of non-invasion, or some such.
Gorby = USSR.
The USSR was formally dissolved.
And the pro-Russians and their apologists keep emphatically telling us the USSR ≠ Russia, and vice versa.
It seems to me any verbal agreement made with Gorby would at the least have to be verbally reaffirmed “on the record” with “Russia”, and periodically renewed.
Yeah, none of this says boo about NATO not allowing Eastern European countries into membership.
My rule of thumb on that is if we’re talking about arming
those nations to the teeth, or if we are simply offering
them light arms and the promise to come to their aid if
they are attacked.
The Ukraine was not a serious threat to Russia. If it had
been, Russia wouldn’t have marched to within seven miles
of downtown KEIV. It wouldn’t have gotten across the
border at all.
Nah, I’m not buying what’s been peddled on this forum.
Is that how you see it?
