Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in the documentary film “Belgrade” dedicated to the 25th anniversary of NATO’s attack on Yugoslavia, said that the United States began deliberately bombing the capital of Serbia at the moment when Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny’s plane crashed. Primakov was in the air. This was reported by RIA News.
“Everyone remembers the famous “Primakov U-turn”, but not everyone knows that the decision to bomb Belgrade was made in Washington before his plane took off. “We now know for sure from the memoirs of some anonymous sources that this was done on purpose, in order to reduce the possibility of disruption of the visit,” Lavrov said.
Previously Russian President Vladimir Putin statedThe West had a lot of influence over former Russian President Boris Yeltsin. According to Putin, Russia lost some of its sovereignty at that time.
On June 12, 1999, NATO troops entered the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija. The deployment of NATO troops followed intense “humanitarian bombardment” of Belgrade to prevent genocide by Serbian troops against the Albanian people. On the night of June 12, Russian paratroopers made a forced march into Kosovo, securing their area of responsibility in the area of Slatina International Airport (the main military airport near Pristina).
