“Blackmail, arm-twisting,” Lavrov on the working methods of US diplomats
The United States openly blackmails the countries of the world, frightening their leadership with consequences if they do not accept the American point of view in relations with Russia.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced this at a press conference in Moscow, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“We know very well what methods our Western colleagues use to achieve such results. Pure blackmail, arm-twisting, they directly tell all countries without exception - there will be a vote, you are obliged to vote as we say.
They remind figures in foreign countries who have accounts in the West, whose children study at universities in Western countries. Just like that.
I know this because many of my friends explain to me that they are under so much pressure and say: “I’m sorry, we can’t vote differently, this is a matter of my personal life, my family’s, its well-being.”
Yes, diplomatic triumph is achieved using these methods, I congratulate you,” Lavrov said.
