In a combative interview with NBC, Lavrov accused Kyiv of pursuing “theatrics” instead of substance and questioned Zelensky’s constitutional legitimacy. He insisted Russia never targets civilians, dismissed accusations of indiscriminate bombing, and claimed the West sabotaged a 2022 peace framework in Istanbul.
