Claim 2: “Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said... 'The West is waging its war on Russia, using Ukrainians’ bodies, itself being busy pumping the Kiev regime with weapons'”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results confirm that Sergey Lavrov has repeatedly accused the West of using Ukraine as a facade/foothold to threaten Russia and pumping the 'Kiev regime' with weapons. While the exact phrasing in the evidence varies slightly, the core factual claim that Lavrov made these specific accusations is supported by multiple independent search results.
