Lavrov said Russia isn’t isolated from US and Europe
Russia is not isolating itself from the United States and Europe, but Western countries must be aware that a confrontation with Moscow is futile – as noted by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, RIA Novosti reports
During a meeting with permanent members of the Russian Security Council, the Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry said, “The idea is clearly fixed that we are not isolating ourselves from the Anglo-Saxon countries and continental Europe, we do not have initially hostile intentions towards them. However, they must be aware that pragmatic co-operation with Russia is possible only if they realise the futility of a confrontational policy and if this policy is abandoned in practical actions.”
Sergei Lavrov added that ‘it will be up to us to decide how ready the West will be to follow these recommendations’.
