Russia’s foreign policy

▫️Russia will rely only on itself and those countries that have proven their reliability and do not “dance to someone else’s tune,” Lavrov said.

He noted that Russia should stop in any way dependent on the supply of anything from the West for critical industries.

According to Lavrov, Moscow in its further development should rely on partners in the Eurasian region.

▫️Lavrov: those who seek the defeat of Russia “on the battlefield” probably did not study well at school and do not know what Russia is

▫️Economic cooperation between Russia and China will gain momentum in the near future, as the West “takes the position of a dictator,”
