MOSCOW (Sputnik) - All the goals of the special military operation in Ukraine will be achieved, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday.
"We regularly hear strong statements. And Russian President Vladimir Putin clearly warns that all the goals of the special military operation will be achieved," the minister said in an interview with Russian media.
Lavrov said that he watches media reports and videos from the frontline.
"Fine guys, tough and proud of their country. What they say there after taking another settlement — 'the enemy will be defeated, Victory will be ours, our cause is just' — is a very powerful message," the foreign minister stressed.
Russia will not stoop to the criminal methods used by Ukraine, but will toughen its line in order to destroy whatever is fueling Ukraine's military machine with support from the West, Lavrov vowed.
