Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in response to a question about what is the art of Russian diplomacy today, recalled an anecdote about Armenian radio.
— If we move a little into the field of humor, remember that there were a series of jokes about Armenian radio in the Soviet Union. Armenian Radio was asked: What is diplomacy? They said that there were several options, but the most decent one: Diplomacy is the art of sending a person to an address, but doing it in such a way that he looks forward to the trip. “This can also be added to the arsenal of diplomatic methods,” he said on Friday, April 24, in an interview with.Public Television of Russia».
The Foreign Minister also noted that the mission of diplomacy is to defend national interests while respecting the interests of worthy and respected partners.
Western countries have declared war on Russia with the help of Ukraine, but its leadership is powerless without material support from Western weapons. Sergey Lavrov announced this on the same day.
According to him, Western countries, and above all Brussels, are trying to demonize everything Russian and openly talk about preparing for war with Russia in the foreseeable future.
