Russian foreign minister accuses NBC host of wanting something to 'sell' during tense Ukraine exchange
Fox News
NBC's Kristen Welker repeatedly pressed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Sunday on "Meet the Press" about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which he deemed a "special military operation."
Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
Welker also pressed Lavrov whether he believed Ukraine had a right to exist, before she pushed the Russian foreign minister to acknowledge that Russia had invaded Ukraine.
"Russia started [a] special military operation to defend the people who [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy and his predecessor did not consider as humans," Lavrov said. "They called them being suspicious. You should, look, you should really — I understand that you need something to sell today — but if you are raising and touching up on such serious things, my suggestion is to take a look at the history of Ukrainian development after the coup in 2014."
