Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday likened Western policies on Russia to Nazi leader Adolf Hitlers prepared Final Solution for Europes Jews.Moscows top diplomat-- whose talk about Hitler and Jews led to President Vladimir Putin providing an unusual apology on his behalf in 2015-- made the contrast at his yearly interview.

Just as Napoleon activated virtually all of Europe against the Russian Empire, simply as Hitler activated and captured ...

the majority of European countries and sent them against the Soviet Union, now the United States has actually arranged a coalition, Lavrov stated.

Western countries, he stated, are by proxy through Ukraine waging war against our country.

The task is the exact same: the last service of the Russian concern.

Simply as Hitler wished to finally solve the Jewish question.

It is not the very first time Lavrov has actually invoked Hitler and the Jews in his outspoken anti-Western remarks, with the 72-year-old facing anti-Semitism accusations before.In May last year, Putin said sorry to Israel after Lavrov claimed Hitler had Jewish blood.

Lavrov also said Wednesday that Russia had not seen any serious proposals from the West on fixing the Ukraine dispute.

We are ready to respond to any serious proposals, he said.

But we havent seen any.

He protected the Kremlins goals in its 11-month offensive in Ukraine.

They are not made up, not just taken from thin air, however objectives identified by the fundamental, legitimate security interests of the Russian Federation.

The Kremlins critics have said its military goals in Ukraine are unclear and have actually altered considering that Moscow failed to take Kyiv at the start of its offensive.
