Hezbollah's leader says US responsible for Russian aggression 

The leader of Lebanese movement Hezbollah blamed the United States on Tuesday for pushing the Ukraine crisis to full-scale war.  

“The United States is responsible for the incidents happening in Ukraine and it triggered and pushed things in this direction,” Hassan Nasrallah said during a speech announcing the opening of an exhibition named after former Hezbollah leader Abbas al-Mousawi.

“The consequences of what is happening in Russia and Ukraine are dangerous to the world, and the situation is open to all possibilities,” he warned.

He also slammed the West showing "double standards compared to their attitudes toward American wars."
