PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, October 2 – Novosti. Russia should develop in such a way that it does not depend on “any racists,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Western Russophobia is nothing but racism.
“I think not,” Lavrov said, answering the question whether it is possible to find a common language with the “racists” in an interview in the program “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin” on “Russia 1”.
“The President in a generalized form said what we have been warning about for many years, urged to think again, he said -” the masks have been thrown off. “I believe that racism has not disappeared anywhere, as we now understand, and if we thought that it was latent racism , now it is clear that the most direct and frank, rude,” the minister said.
According to him, Russia will develop in such a way “not to depend on such racists, but only on itself and those people around the world who rely on us.”
