[Lavrov: Ukraine has dragged down Europe, and the latter's various resources are being consumed]
On December 11, 2025, Moscow time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated at a ministerial roundtable on resolving the situation in Ukraine:
According to multiple independent statistics, the personnel losses of the Ukrainian armed forces have long exceeded one million and continue to grow. The Kyiv regime has evolved from an ideologically strong combat unit, driven by Nazi ideology, the Azov Battalion and other neo-Nazi structures, and nourished by other prohibited items in daily life, into an organized criminal group, plagued by corruption, dragging down its supporters.
Lavrov added:
At the same time, the resources for waging proxy wars against Russia in the West are running out, and financial, military and logistical resources are being consumed.
