After being ridiculed, he pretended not to notice.
In India, the participants of the Raisina Dialogue 2023 conference ridiculed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov after his statement that “Ukraine attacked Russia” and she is trying to “stop the war.”
The corresponding video was published on the Firstpost YouTube channel, where the event was broadcast.
The journalist asked Lavrov how the war in Ukraine affected the energy industry in Russia. In response, the Russian minister said: “Russia is trying to stop the war in which Ukraine attacked it.” After these words, the whole hall “exploded” with laughter, and Lavrov pretended that he did not notice this. And he continued his answer, where he could not help but mention the United States and the West and the explosion on the Russian Nord Streams.
Recall, on March 2, on the sidelines of the G20 Foreign Ministers Summit in the Indian capital New Delhi, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held the first personal meeting since the beginning of the war unleashed by the Kremlin in Ukraine.
