New US national security strategy designed to show Europe its place — Lavrov
The new US national security strategy, adopted under President Donald Trump, is intended to show Europe its place and make sure it doesn’t try to draw the United States into its machinations to promote a liberal order, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Iran’s state broadcaster (IRIB).
Key points from the interview:
Russia expects a US response on the outcome of Washington’s latest contacts with the Ukrainian side
Europe has repeatedly been a source of crises and disasters in history, including colonialism and the two world wars
Lavrov says many Europeans’ “genetic” pull toward theft is clearly visible in the debate over frozen Russian assets
European countries, he says, ignored every chance to take part in a settlement in Ukraine — and their approach looks like a “failed doctor” handing out pills without understanding the disease
Russia is ready to help “with concrete actions” to normalize the situation around Iran
Europe’s “dishonest scheme” to restore sanctions on Iran is “a disgrace to European diplomacy”
Russia and Iran have planned the construction of new nuclear power units — some of them already underway
