Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with RT television, Sputnik agency and Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency, Moscow, July 20, 2022
With strong support from the Germans, Poles, and Balts, our US and
British (Anglo-Saxon) “colleagues” want to make this an actual war and
pit Russia against the European countries. Washington and London are
sitting far away, across oceans and straits, but will benefit from this.
The European economy is impacted more than anything else. The stats
show that 40 percent of the damage caused by sanctions is borne by the
EU whereas the damage to the United States is less than 1 percent, if
you look at the cumulative negative impact of the restrictions.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s article «Staged incidents as the Western approach to doing politics», published in Izvestia newspaper
The collective West should come back to Earth from the world of
illusions. The staged incidents, no matter how long they go on, will not
work. It is time for fair play based on the international law rather
than cheating.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement and answers to media questions following the G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting in Denpasar, July 8, 2022
We drew attention to the developments in the Black Sea. If the West is
so eager to export Ukrainian grain, all they need to do is to make Kiev
de-mine the Black Sea ports and allow ships to pass through Ukraine’s
territorial waters. At sea, Russia, with Turkey’s support, is ready to
secure safe passage for such convoys up to the Bosporus Strait and
further to the Mediterranean Sea and consumer markets.

President Vladimir Putin took part in a meeting of the heads of state participating in the 6th Caspian Summit.
Ultimately, the key goals of the “five” include the further expansion of
regional trade and investment links and mutually beneficial cooperation
in industrial production and advanced technology. I should note that
Russia’s trade with the Caspian littoral states is constantly on the
rise. In 2021, our mutual trade increased by more than one-third, or 35
percent, to reach US$34 billion. It increased another 12.5 percent
between January and April.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement and answers to media questions following a ministerial meeting of the Caspian littoral states, Ashgabat, June 28, 2022
Yesterday, all Western media outlets were abuzz with videos from
Kremenchug that showed a burning shopping centre and accused the Russian
military of bombing civilian infrastructure. The Russian Defence
Ministry clearly and carefully explained what had happened in reality:
they bombed a hangar with weapons and ammunition that had arrived from
the United States and Europe. The explosion of that ammunition set the
abandoned shopping center nearby on fire.
