Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov: There Is A New "Iron Curtain"

New ‘iron curtain’ already descending between Russia and the west, says Lavrov

Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said, a new “iron curtain” was descending between Russia and the west, and that Moscow would not trust Washington and Brussels “from now on”.

Speaking to reporters, Lavrov said:

As far as an iron curtain is concerned, essentially it is already descending.

The process “has begun”, he said after talks with his counterpart from Belarus, AFP reports.

Lavrov accused the EU of not being “at all” interesting in understanding Russia’s interests, adding:

It is interested in what has been decided in Brussels. And what has been decided in Washington has been decided in Brussels.
