Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Lavrov said that the US steps to create a coalition against Russia are comparable to the actions of Adolf Hitler and are aimed at a final solution to the “Russian question.”
“Today my officials are summoning Russia’s ambassador to Canada <…> to condemn face to face the anti-Semitic comments made by Russia’s Minister Sergey Lavrov,” Joly said.
According to Joly, Ottawa will also express dissatisfaction about the actions of Russian forces during the military special operation in Ukraine.

Speaking at a press conference on the results of the activities of Russian diplomacy in 2022 Lavrov said: “Just as Napoleon mobilized practically all of Europe against the Russian Empire, just as Hitler mobilized and captured… the majority of European countries and sent them against the Soviet Union, now the United States has organized a coalition from practically all Europeans, who are part of NATO, and also from the EC members as well and by proxy through Ukraine they are waging war against our country pursuing the same task: the final solution of the ‘Russian question. Just as Hitler wanted to finally solve the Jewish question. Now, if you read Western politicians, <…> they unequivocally say that Russia must suffer a strategic defeat,” Lavrov said.
What Lavaro has stated may be unpalatable to the Western countries but is quite true. Both are even in Indian Crosshair for giving support to the Khalistanis and Kashmiri separatists but still acting as if they are holier than the Pope.
