West Will Not Manage to Defeat Russia, Using Kiev as Ram: Lavrov
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The collective West seeks strategically defeating Russia, using Ukraine as a ram, but it will not succeed, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during talks with Kyrgyzstan’s Foreign Minister Jeenbek Kulubayev.
"We see an unprecedented standoff our country against the collective West that decided again to wage a war against us and inflict a strategic defeat to Russia, essentially using the (Ukrainian government) as a ram," Lavrov said.
"The West has never succeeded in that - they will not work it out this time also," the top Russian diplomat said, TASS reported.
The West "probably, starts figuring that out," Lavrov stated.
Considering the current international situation, the Russian foreign minister also pointed to particular importance of close ties with Kyrgyzstan in all the areas.
