Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday that Moscow intends to continue its military operation in Ukraine until it achieves its objectives, APA reports citing Tele Trader.

Speaking at a press conference in Hanoi after a meeting with his Vietnamese counterpart Bui Thanh Son, Lavrov accused the Western media of reporting one-sidedly about the war in Ukraine and failing to provide "objective information" about the "Ukrainian regime." He added that the West should be aware of its "responsibility" for the deaths of civilians in Ukraine, particularly those in Donbass, as the weapons they provided to Kyiv are used "against the civilian population as a means of deterrence, by and large, this is state terror."

The Russian top diplomat also denied Ukraine's allegations that Russia attacked its own cities in order to blame it on Kyiv.
