"Extension of NATO" | Russia, Ukraine Allies Clash At OSCE Summit, Bulgaria Blocks Lavrov's Plane Dec 1, 2023 #Lavrov #Russia #Ukraine

  

The OSCE’s Skopje summit was overshadowed by confrontation between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ukraine’s allies. The meeting saw Lavrov facing Western critics in North Macedonia as he blamed “NATO’s reckless expansion to the East”. Lavrov hit back by accusing the grouping of becoming an "appendage" of the NATO alliance and the European Union. As Lavrov began his speech, members of the Ukrainian delegation started to leave the meeting hall. Lavrov walked out of the meeting during Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen’s speech. However, after the meet, Lavrov said that it was his US counterpart Antony Blinken who fled the OSCE meet and not him. Lavrov's invitation to the summit faced backlash from some countries boycotting the event.
