Lavrov gave Rubio fake quotes from Ukrainian leaders allegedly calling for destruction of Russians

From Espresso:

"Lavrov claims to present Rubio with Ukrainian leaders’ quotes urging “destruction of Russians”

11 July, 2025
 
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed that during his meeting yesterday with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he allegedly handed him a compilation of quotes from Ukrainian leaders talking about the “destroying Russians”

He made this statement at a press conference, a clip of which was shown by RIA Novosti.

Sergey Lavrov said that during his meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio the previous day, he handed him a collection of quotes from Ukrainian leaders  "which directly refer to the need to destroy Russians legally, or better yet, physically.""

Meanwhile, social media users fact-checked Lavrov's statement and obtained the predictable result that such quotes do not exist.
