Russia's top diplomat says Moscow doesn't 'want wars' but warns 'we also won't allow our interests to be rudely trampled
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday said Russia is not pursuing war, despite the fact that it's gathered tens of thousands of troops along Ukraine's border.
"If it depends on Russia, then there will be no war. We don't want wars. But we also won't allow our interests to be rudely trampled, to be ignored," Lavrov told Russian radio stations, per Reuters.
It looks like Russia is pursuing war despite what Lavrov says.
