The outbreak of the Russian Foreign Minister is based on Media reports that the EU is responding to Russia’s request for clarification in a unified manner.
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov knocks out the EU’s planned joint response to the country’s request for clarification, Reuters reports.
If the bloc gives its response as a united front, talks between Russia and the West will be interrupted, Lavrov said. However, he stressed that Moscow is in favor of a diplomatic solution so that tensions between Ukraine and the country can be resolved.
Lavrov commented after discussing the matter with his British counterpart Liz Trussin with Moscow on Thursday.
Asian the background is media reports that the EU has a draft response to Russia’s recent request for clarification from EU countries.
The reply was signed by the High Representative of the Union for External Relations Josep Borrell. The request for clarification relates to, among other things, the so-called security guarantees.
The EU spokesman in Moscow said in a statement to Reuters that the EU had given its response to Russia. The information about the reply came only a moment later after Lavrov had commented on the matter.
