According to the diplomat, Moscow is ready to cooperate with Washington, Brussels and the military unit on the Afghan issue. However, he called the North Atlantic Alliance countries the main responsible for the help of Afghanistan.
Earlier, Sergey Lavrov at a meeting with AEB declared the undermining of trust relationships between the European Union and Russia due to unilateral measures from Brussels. According to the head of the Foreign Ministry, the degradation of relations acquires a chronic character, and they can be called “seven-year missed opportunities.” However, the diplomat indicated that Russia does not wish to exacerbate the situation and considers it important to refrain from bringing irritants and negative factors.
