Lavrov SLAMS Macron, Merz Of Reviving ā€˜Nazi-Era Instinctsā€™ In Bid To Conquer Europe Again

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their ā€œformer instinctsā€ of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between todayā€™s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities. He further stated that ā€œGerman and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,ā€ claiming that just as some ā€œburned Jews,ā€ others now ā€œburn Russians.ā€ Lavrovā€™s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization. The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russiaā€™s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism. #Lavrov #Macron #Merz #RussiaEuropeTensions #Nazism #UkraineWar #GermanyPolitics #FranceNews #RussianFM #ConqueringEurope #RussianStatement #LavrovSpeech #RussiaVsWest #UkraineConflict #ModernNazism #RussianForeignMinistry #AntiWesternSentiment #RussianNarrative #EuropeanImperialism #LavrovMacronMerz ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~
