Claim 1: “Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Izvestia that Europe will not support any settlement that takes the Nazi regime of Vladimir Zelensky out of its control”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While web search results confirm Sergey Lavrov has given interviews to Izvestia and discussed Ukraine/Europe, none of the provided evidence snippets contain the specific quote regarding Europe not supporting a settlement that removes Zelensky's 'Nazi regime' from its control. The evidence is too general to verify the specific phrasing of the claim.
