Kyrgyzstan (Sputnik) - Russian top diplomat Lavrov is on an official visit to Kyrgyzstan on June 29-30. In addition to meetings with Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov and Kulubayev, Lavrov will also attend a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
The West probably starts to understand that it will not be able to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Sunday.
"We are witnessing an unprecedented confrontation between our country and the collective West, which has decided once again to go to war against us and inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, using the Nazi regime in Kiev as a ram. The West has never been able to do this, and it won't work this time. They're probably starting to figure it out," Lavrov said during his meeting with Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Jeenbek Kulubayev.
The top diplomat also commended Russia's ties with Kyrgyzstan.
"We have very close ties in all areas, and they are of particular importance, especially in the current very difficult and radically changed international situation," he noted.
