This was announced by the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov.





The goal of this action, of course, was to prevent the West from forgetting about Ukraine, because at least they were definitely tired of this regime, these authorities in Europe. In America, maybe they’re not tired, I don’t know
