Yes, a bit strange that: 'we have nothing to complain about' when clearly Russia has everything to complain about. I think maybe he was thinking of 'being plaintive' ? The Russians certainly have nothing to be plaintive about, they've done no wrong.

You know in Lavrov's shoes I would have taken every opportunity to declare two things upon the accusation of having invaded sovereign nation etc.. well three things...

1. No nation currently engage upon violating sovereignty has any right to raise the issue with Russia and that means the USA above all nations in the world has to shut up.

2. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was a pre-emptive strike well recognised as a 'right' of threatened nations. And who has been big on promoting this right? Yep. USA.

3. Russia in any case swiftly withdrew behind Donbas States borders and adopted a posture of helping them to defend themselves. And to this day those State have not fully recovered their territories and that of itself is proof positive of a Civil War of ethnic cleansing: what say about that?

Off topic but vaguely relevant as we discuss criminal empires and their vassals

and grr might appreciate:

"In a long-awaited decision, the Federal Court has ruled that the measures Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked under the Emergencies Act were unreasonable and unconstitutional.

The decision follows an application for judicial review launched by the Canadian Constitution Foundation, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, and several other applicants in 2022 after the emergency measures were used to end the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa.

The measures controversially allowed the government to freeze the bank accounts of protesters, conscript tow truck drivers, and arrest people for participating in assemblies the government deemed illegal."
