Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Europe “the main obstacle to peace” as US and Ukrainian negotiators prepare for talks on a way to end Moscow’s four-year invasion of its neighbor.

“After the change of administration in the US, Europe and the European Union have become the main obstacle to peace,” Lavrov said in an interview with the Tass newswire published on Sunday.
