Russia’s Lavrov compares U.S. actions with those of Hitler or Napoleon

MOSCOW, (Reuters) – The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov compared Washington’s recent actions to those of Adolf Hitler or Napoleon Bonaparte. He said Washington had also subjugated Europe for the purpose of waging war against Moscow.

He stated that the Nazi leader and French Emperor had used the same tactic to attack Russia once before.

Lavrov said that the United States, via Ukraine, is waging war against our country with the exact same task: solving the Russian problem.
