Russia’s Sergey Lavrov provokes laughter from audience as he claims Ukraine started war
Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov provoked laughter from an audience at a conference in India when he claimed his country is the victim of the war in Ukraine.
He was speaking at the Raisina Dialogue, an event in New Delhi that debates the major challenges facing the world.
