Lavrov Calls Trump First Politician to Admit That NATO Lied on Not Expanding to East

US President-elect Donald Trump was the first Western politician to honestly admit that NATO lied to Russia about not expanding to the East, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.

"President Trump himself, in his big interview, also mentioned the root causes of the conflict in the part where it concerns dragging the Kiev regime into NATO, contrary to the agreements that were reached both through Soviet and then Russian-US agreements and relations and within the OSCE," Lavrov told a press conference on the overview of Russian diplomacy in 2024.

NATO was doing exactly what it had promised not to do, Lavrov added.

"And Trump said so. For the first time, honest admissions were made not only by a US leader, but by any Western leader, in fact, that NATO members were lying when they signed numerous documents," the minister concluded.

US Should Take Into Account the Opinion of Greenlanders

When it comes to the US purchasing Greenland, the opinion of the Greenlanders should be sought, just as Russia did in the case of Crimea and Donbass, Lavrov said.

He compared this to how Russia listened to the residents of Crimea, Donbass, and Novorossiya to understand their attitude toward the Kiev regime that came to power in Ukraine through an unlawful coup.
