MOSCOW. Feb 18 (Interfax) - Western media reports on the Russian invasion of Ukraine are fake stories that make him smile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"I am positive that everyone more or less interested in foreign politics has realized that these are nothing but propaganda, fakes and hoaxes. Importantly, the authors of these fake stories have to believe in what they say. They like it. That's okay as long as they are happy. Why not do it?" Lavrov said in an interview with the RT television channel on Friday.
"This makes us smile," he said.
