> Senior diplomat Alexander Grushko says the West has completely failed in its efforts to defeat Russia. He argues that “Russophobia” is being used to conceal disagreements and divisions within Europe. According to Grushko, those disputes concern economic and migration issues. His remarks frame anti-Russian sentiment as a cover for Europe’s internal tensions.
