US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is associated with intentional injection of tension around Russia as a background for negotiations on security guarantees. This was stated by the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov at a press conference, reports the correspondent “Renta.ru”.
The head of the foreign policy agency called the Secretary of State Blinkken “experienced and knowledgeable” man, but reproached the US authorities in the fact that they artificially injected tensions, wanting to create such an atmosphere as a background during negotiations in Brussels and Geneva.
Lavrov hopes to hold a new round of negotiations with NATO countries. However, the Minister noted that it will depend on the specific written response of the West on Russian proposals for security guarantees.
Previously, at a press conference, Lavrov said that NATO in violation of all obligations and in violation of common sense went to the aggravation of relations. He drew attention that in parallel with the Russian requirements “Americans, Canadians, the British on a permanent basis practically passed, under the guise of rotation, in the Baltic States and other countries of the North of Europe.”
