Lavrov: Next US president will have to work with Moscow
Russia’s foreign minister says the next US administration will have to work with Moscow to solve world crises, and argued that the peace process in Syria had been “sabotaged” by other countries involved in talks.
Sergey Lavrov makes the remarks days before the US presidential election during a visit to Greece, a NATO and European Union member that has maintained close ties with Russia.
“If you remember a few months ago Obama said just that: ‘We are the ones who should lay down the rules.’ It may have been arrogant but at least he was honest,” Lavrov says.
“If this is the way our American partners think, it means we will have to go through a painful period of realization that no one can do anything on their own.”
