DPA: Lavrov confirms Moscow's plans for regime change in Ukraine 

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said, in contrast to earlier statements, that Russia is seeking to overthrow the Ukrainian government. 

 "We will definitely help the Ukrainian people to free themselves from the regime that is absolutely anti-people and anti-history," Lavrov said in Cairo on Sunday. The Russian and Ukrainian people would live together in the future, he added.

Sighhh .... I know this is going to be a long war. Listening to Lavrov this evening only confirms my worst fears.
