West’s ‘total hybrid war’ on Russia will affect everyone, can’t predict how long will last: Lavrov

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday the West had announced a “total hybrid war” against Russia and it was hard to predict how long it would last. In a speech on the 80th day since Russia invaded Ukraine, Lavrov pointed to the barrage of sanctions imposed by the West against Moscow and attempted to portray Russia as the target, not the perpetrator, of aggression. “The collective West has declared total hybrid war on us and it is hard to predict how long all this will last but it is clear the consequences will be felt by everyone, without exception,” he said in a speech.
