Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiga described his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, as a “war criminal” during a meeting at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Malta.
“Ukraine continues to fight for its right to exist. And the Russian war criminal at this table must know: Ukraine will win this right and justice will prevail,” Sybiga said.
“Russia is not a partner; it is the greatest threat to our collective security. Russia’s participation in the OSCE is a threat to cooperation in Europe,” Sybiga added, asserting that Russia lies when it speaks of peace.
