Laughter erupts as Russia's Lavrov says Ukraine started war against Russia
A crowd at an event in India appeared to laugh at Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday (March 3) after he said the Ukraine conflict was "launched against us".
Lavrov was speaking after attending a G20 meeting of foreign ministers.
Responding to a question on energy he said: "the war which we are trying to stop and which was launched against us using Ukrainian people," as he was interrupted by laughter.
Russia invaded Ukraine a year ago in what the Kremlin calls a "special military operation".

Selensky went from comedian to politician and Lavrow went from politician to comedian
Hahah so true
Brilliant..🤣🤣👍💙💛
😂 Very honest way of putting it. Great comment.
More like Killer-Clowns from outta "space"!
Truth!
Poor Russians, getting attacked anytime they try to take over a neighboring country. I feel his pain.
Why won't other countries stop bullying Russia when they bully smaller countries?!
Well, an empire has to expand somehow. Since noone in reality would attack one of the great nuclear powers then they have to invent imaginary attacks against themselves.
@@tereterevanakere2132 the US are experts in that field, constantly fighting for "freedom" in countries that need to be liberated of their oil
@@MK-sd8zr any dictator who has oil can upset stability of world economy. if they aren't put in their place then soon there would be chaos. ofcourse some people want that..
@@MK-sd8zr but lets not jump from this to that here when subject is Ukraine :P
I'll never get tired of them laughing at him! 🤣
.There is nothing to laugh about here. Lavrov is right - the United States organized this war and they will lose it.

@@user-zz2of4zk6b И какие "потери" они понесут "проиграв" эту войну?
@@alex-0 Во-первых, пропадут 120 миллиардов, которые США инвестировали в украинскую войну. Как вариант начнутся парламентские расследования о бесконтрольном расходе бюджетных средств. Во-вторых, репутационные издержки, как после Вьетнама, Афганистана: " Вы на что рассчитывали, когда начинали эту войну?" Ну, и в-третьих, раскол НАТО и ослабление мирового лидерства США.
@@user-zz2of4zk6b 120 миллиардов… посмотри военный бюджет США за год. Это даже не 20 процентов. А сколько Россия потеряет? Что-то мне кажется расклад не в нашу пользу. Раскол НАТО по какой причине? Наоборот будет усиление. Все страны граничащие с Россией будут стремиться туда еще больше. Репетиционные издержки? Про это надо узнать у второй армии мира. Армия США еще даже не начинала только в настоящем смысле этого слова.
I wonder how many times Lavrov had to practice that "Ukraine attacked us" line in front of a mirror without cracking up. 🤣
Anyone could be terrorist.
Ha ha ha ha ha )
😂😂😂😂he almost looked like he was going to laugh at himself! He was like a comedian that had just delivered a punchline of a joke!
You need to go back to 2014 look at the maiden rally's when a elected government was overthrown in a illegal coup which the people in the east didn't want any part of..the coup was instagated by the United snakes of America

But the orcs believe it all! 🤷🏻♀️
But he must lie to earn his income.
...but hoping if he says enough crazy BS he can sway our opinion 😅🤣
he has a tiny itsy bitsy thin line microscopic hope chance.. you see according to his imperialist-soviet thinking the winner of the w gets to bury all the "evidence" and rewrite history
The art of vranyo!
This guy thinks we are still living in 1914 or 1940 when there was no internet, in a time where you can tell this crap to the people without knowing anything better.
But you believe in this nonsense. You were promised the victory of Ukraine in 2 weeks. You were promised that the sanctions would take effect quickly. You were promised nuclear weapons in Iraq. You believed it. But there were no nuclear weapons. You kept silent and forgot. And when Ukraine loses, you will again remain silent and forget.
@@user-wr6fr2lp2c You assume so much but know so little.
@@user-wr6fr2lp2c Not one Ukrainian said Ukraine could in 2 weeks. Only Russia sheeple like you make absurd claims like that. On the contrary, the entire Russian media said Russia would win the war in 2 weeks. You are projecting here. 😂
@@user-wr6fr2lp2c Victory in Ukraine in 2 Weeks - lol what??? First time I've heard this. Sanctions would take effect quickly - Honestly, nobody in the US cares about Russia's economy. Iraq - Good attempt at trying to equate two strawmen to a historical event, except for the fact that the weapon concerns were WMDs in general. So going off your 0/3 logic, it's safe to bet your last point is wrong too. No wonder Soviet Russia jokes are a thing.
@@user-wr6fr2lp2c No? Nobody assumed that. The sanctions JUST took effect last month. Well wait and see the next few months what they do.
He genuinely appears surprised at the reaction, interrupting his speaking. I suppose if you lie 24/7 you actually forget what the reality is.
Like Putin he's used to speaking to a captive audience who just nod their heads in agreement.
Yeh. Believe your own bs.
I think he thought that this is like school where the bully can play the victim an then the actual victim gets punished for defending itself. To be fair, it worked for the USA in the last decades.
True that!
@davidmccann9811 they nod their heads like bobbleheads as they a re incapable of critical/ independent thoughts!
It is good to see this man's comedy career revitalized in India. I have heard people never laugh at his stand up comedy in Russia
Normally because Russians can’t stand for anything…. They get thrown in prison 😂
I wonder if in Russia, being stood up in front of a window then being pushed out qualifies as stand-up comedy.
Lavrov wears a jacket made in France, a tie made in Italy, glasses made in Greece, a smartphone made in the USA... However, his intelligence is developed in Russia. 🤣🤣🤣
And his stepdaughter lives in London
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Which cellphone is made in the USA? lol
@@iloveaviation-burgerclub-a8145 sure everything is made in China nowadays cause it's cheaper to produce in China using cheaper labor but it's engineered in USA and intellectual property is what matters

I didn't realize "trying to stop the war" means mobilizing over and over to throw more soldiers into the meat grinder, starting mass attacks against civilian targets when your military fails to secure victory against the enemy military etc. Russia rewrites not only history but also basic word definitions.
1984 newspeak - Ignorance is strength - war is peace and so on - beyond grasp why India and Brazil are still their bags. We have to step up "disturbances" in their countries too. Just a fair wy of sh!tt!ing them up too!
Only thing Russias good at
Have you heard the Ukrainian Trojan horse story? Recently Ukraine left a broken down Western Trophy vehicle where the Russians could find it. The Russians stole it faster then they steal washing machines. Only one small problem. It was rigged with high explosives and BANG it wiped out a whole unit of greedy Russians , including their commanding officer. Then the Ukrainians launched an attack and took the position.
Yeah me too, i didn't realize US sending more and more weapons despite their claim as a "peace keeper".
@@joelmiller5897The west should just let russia invade everywhere 🤦♀️
The nerve of them just saying THEY are the victims is just amazing 😂😂
I think he thought that this is like school where the bully can play the victim an then the actual victim gets punished for defending itself. To be fair, it worked for the USA in the last decades.
He knows how to keep Putin happy and how to not fall out windows.
Don't forget the other 'hilarious' comments by this guy: not longer after invading Ukraine he claimed ruZZia was not fighting in Ukraine. He claimed that AGAIN a few months later. Lavrov is not just a pschpath but insane.
he is just like his bloody dark master
and he also said we don't want Ukraine to surrender, we want Ukraine to stop resisting 🤡🤦♂
He’s not insane, he says what he has been told (at gunpoint)
It's war Gloves off He is doing what his counterparts did For decades centuries... War of looting oppressing invading dictating and enforcing stance This move is making world multipolar dominated word where majority have a say Right or wrong don't exist When most have been harmed recently By the same folks supporting ukrain Which makes other wonder ..huh ..they invade us but assist them ?
@@skibididopyesdop Of all the people in the Russian administration, Lavrov actually looks like a villain and he does speak like a psychopath. Putin himself doesn’t look remarkable, if he was in a room with 100 people, Putin wouldn’t really stand out. But Lavrov, he looks insane and he smiles like a crooked salesman.
This guy is totally insane like his fellows in MOSCOW !
FUN FACT. His daughter, her husband and new born baby are ANTI UKRAINE WAR and have fled Russia and moved to Dubai.
He'd be thrown out of a window if he didn't go along with his master's insanity.
Lavrov needs a plan B. With Putin and his headed for inevitable factional infighting Lavrov will inevitably go down with him
Propaganda muncher.
The whole world pays witness to the deluded Kremlin Psychopaths. For so long they have controlled the narrative of their own subjugated people. But we are not them. We see the idiots for what they are; lying, murdering psychopaths 💙💛

@@marcogijsen5508He truly was. And Medvedev was actually a progressive Russian president for his single term, sandwiched between two of Putin’s terms. But Sergei Lavrov was well respected as an intellectual, a decent man, friendly, personable, and good to work with until around the time when Russia invaded Crimea and the Donbas.
He's always been a laughing stock
He is not a diplomat but a liar.
@@Rocket_scientist_88 I have heard several Western diplomats say that they feel bad for Lavrov because they know he is an intelligent man and a highly competent diplomat but he is in an impossible position right now. It's impossible for him to fulfill his orders without sounding delusional.
My man couldn't even keep eye contact with the crowd saying that 0:04🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
Finally "The Sun" actually posted something that was true!
That laughter was priceless 👏👏👏
You know you are a fool when your best ally laughs at you.
Cool reaction of the Indian audience at 28:56!👌💪👍 I just can confirm the quotation of Patrick Graf: "Selensky went from comedian to politician and Lavrow went from politician to comedian." The big problem: There are few people (Putin, Lawrow...) living in their own dreamland, but they are destroying the lives of millions of people, including their own men and families...
Ah yes, 28:56. in a one-minute video.....
He thinks that the whole world watches only Russian television
Lavrov really is pushing others aside to drink from the gutters of history.
this must be Russian sense of humor that even he's not aware of.
What war? It’s a “Special Military Operation”!😂
The russian definition of "self reflection".
Lucky just pipe Patton was right
Thats great, now lets drink vodka until we fall down and cant move
He’s just trying to avoid falling out of a window
Yeah man it’s sucks new epidemic in Russia
I love the reaction of the audience!
..Things you have to say to avoid open windows 🙄
Obviously drunk....
I think the vodka has rotted away his mind 😂
lol yes
Be careful of the tater water.
Everybody likes the Russian Circus. It always gets to play at the big top. Vry important!
I came here for a good laugh - Thanks! Glad to see this joke isn't just for the English speaking but is universally understood. 😄
That was good I loved it lol lol lol he might be able to BS those Russians, but the rest of us know the truth .
Regarding Russia's Lavrov: At least now the whole world can see what we have been saying all along "The Lunatics have taken over the asylum" Victory to Ukraine.xx
I must admit this: he knows how to pull a poker face...
Some Benny Hill music should be added to this 😃
Lavrov should be good as stand up comedians.
yea better than zelensky indeed
Ukraine started this war... lol, the whole world laughs at that. Good one Lavrow. 🌎 ,👏👏
He said that with straight face too 🤣
You can fool the people, but you cannot fool them all the time...
It's like he believes his own lies and is shocked that the audience laughs in disbelief of his statement. I feel sorry for the russian people whom are suffering and will continue to suffer for decades to come, at the hands of their country's idiotic leadership. Glory and Peace to 🇺🇦.
He knows what he says is bs. He has sided with Putin and will go down with Putin no matter what he tells himself. Dictatorships have no loyalties. Give Ukraine what it needs to defeat these demented psychos. We can't afford to loose good brave strong Ukrainian fighters that protect the worlds freedom to subservient unquestioning Russians. Don't tie the hands of Ukraine.
I dont feel sorry for Ruzzians , they chose the village idiot as leader .
@Mary Stapley 100% agree. The free world should be stepping in and giving Putin the ultimatum. Not going in half cocked and trickle feeding ukraine weapons to fight a war for the worlds democratic freedom paying with their lives. Other countries around the world are watching this play out to see how far they can go in their goals of intimidation / invasion or illegal claims of other free country's borders within their region. We need to stop this in ukraine and let these authoritarian country's know you can play nice with the rest of us and enjoy the perks of world peace and trade or become a poverty stricken rogue state with a million sanctions.
@tonupharry Did they choose him as leader though??? Or is it that he just poisons or jails all opposition and changes laws to allow himself to retain power. Then when his citizens protest in the streets over his decision to invade ukraine and target and kill Ukrainian civilians the protesters are arrested and jailed as well, therefore limiting any chances or him being voted out. Putin and his USSR minded followers are just tyrants destroying Russia and the Russian peoples quality of life.
Pathetic ruscists are indeed laughable. Слава Україні! Героям слава! 🇺🇦🇪🇺🌻🔱🇺🇳
Looks like hes going to prison for saying "war"
That law only applies to the Slaves and Serfs of Russia. Putin called it a war and didn't have himself arrested. 😂
@@Yuri_Volkov. Putin has legal immunity for life, as does his family. Definitely not a dictator though
@@Yuri_Volkov.That law doesn't even exist mate. Quit spreading disinformation zeatard
@@natureblank1401 Yes it does and you know it. You have to call it a SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION.
@@yoloswaggins7121 He may have immunity but his family do not because they're just regular people who are part of the United Federation of Fascists. If he's given them special immunity that proves he's a dictator.
Those people are so used to be able to tell what lie they want when home, that they just cannot stop, producing a healthy reaction from a free audience.
Most of all, Russian TV was amused that Latvia was burning wooden benches from the park in the oven to keep warm without Russian gas) And the fact that the British began to abandon soap and shampoo deodorant)
God you can't help but feel sorry for the man. He was once a highly intelligent and articulate polyglot, but he's found himself in a situation where he's insulting the intelligence of a room of equally learned and articulate people by lying to their faces.
Did he say "war" instead of "special military operation"? Wonder if he's gonna fall out of a window someday...
we are all equal, but some are more equal.
That law only applies to the Slaves and Serfs of Russian. Putin publicly called it a war and didn't have himself arrested.
Sanctions and defensive systems for Ukraine is an act of war against ruzzia Genocide of Ukrainians and destruction of civilian infrastructure is a carefully planned special operation that goes according to plan, strictly throughout the whole year. Don’t make this error in understanding things again ☝️
@@ivandankob7112 So what you say is that Ukraine must not be allowed to defend itself. You say that genocide of Ukranians is part of Russia's plan. That is weird because putin claims that Ukrainians are in fact russians. Both Putin and you seem very confused.
@@jandenijmegen5842 im being sarcastic, dude I wrote 'ruzzia' and 'Ukraine', like how could I be more obvious of not being serious :D
He´s so convinced about himself: "... influenced, influenced, influenced ..."
I wouldn't get too close to windows in the future mister lavrov
I was almost expecting someone to throw a shoe at him.
He has to say these absurdities otherwise it'll be a case of "pick your window,you're leaving!".
I always saw Sergey Lavrov as rather dour, but it transpires he has a sense of humour after all!
Yeah he he could have retired a decade ago but is just in that position to troll the world😜

Putler's front clown.
For the record, Mr. Lavrov, you didn't ask for an investigation. You asked that the Americans prove they didn't do it, to which the Americans replied that was non-sense
And it turned out they did it in the end, so it wasn't nonsense
@@blackghost6973 🤡

We blew it up which was a good thing.
@@blackghost6973 yeah, "it turned out", it's how it is when russians can't prove it, they say "it turned out" all by itself

He’s saying we are using Ukrainian people to war Russia with out using Americans and nato. I assume?
Yea basically, he’s trying to blame america for it all, blowing up the pipeline, constant mentioning of the US destabilizing Afghanistan and Iraq. Russia is using america as its scapegoat for russias actions 💯
Lavrov the Dissembler. So many wires crossed - he'll short-circuit soon.
And the Soviet Union started war against Germany in 1941 so that Germany had to defend itself😅
No. Finland and Poland attack the USSR in 1939 so they have to fight back and invade both countrys.
