"We are not customs to give the go-ahead": Lavrov spoke about the meeting with US Secretary of State Blinken

105

The Foreign Secretary held his first face-to-face meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. This meeting took place in the Icelandic capital - the city of Reykjavik. The dialogue between the heads of the foreign affairs agencies of the Russian Federation and the United States continued longer than the protocol service originally planned. According to the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, this is due to the fact that there are a lot of "blockages" in the work and it is not easy to "clean up" them.

Sergei Lavrov noted that the dialogue "seemed constructive to him."



Head of Russian diplomacy:

There is an understanding of the need to overcome the unhealthy situation that has developed in relations between Moscow and Washington in previous years.

Sergei Lavrov named a number of topics that were touched upon in his conversation with Blinken. For example, this is the topic of the diplomatic presence in the United States and Russia. Recall that the American side has repeatedly taken measures to reduce the number of Russian diplomatic staff at the embassy and consulates, in the actual appropriation of Russian diplomatic property. Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov left the United States a long time ago and has not yet returned to America. Not so long ago, Moscow actually sent an American ambassador to Washington "for consultations".

Sergei Lavrov:

The "vicious circle" of strikes was started by former US President Barack Obama. When he left the White House, in fact, our diplomatic property in the United States was confiscated by raider seizures, Russian diplomats and their families were expelled in an inappropriate, rude manner. We endured for a long time.

Lavrov noted that the return to the normal operation of diplomatic missions is the actual duty of the two nuclear powers, the key to strategic stability.

The head of the Russian foreign ministry said that such topics as the restoration of the deal on the Iranian nuclear program, the nuclear problem of the Korean Peninsula, and terrorism in Afghanistan were discussed.

Sergei Lavrov noted that he would report to Vladimir Putin on the results of negotiations with his American counterpart.

During a press approach to Lavrov, one of the journalists asked, "Has Russia given the go-ahead for the summit of Presidents Putin and Biden?"

Sergei Lavrov:

We are not customs to give the go-ahead.

      No matter how we treat each other, we need to talk. Another thing is that the Anglo-Saxons do not know how to listen, or, rather, so - there are very few in their ruling circles who know how to listen to the interlocutor due to the presence of a feeling of gigantic arrogance almost at the genetic level! Once America was a country of active people - the descendants of adventurers, and today it is a swamp, consisting of the peat of mega-corporations and the slurry of the political establishment that has not changed for decades, it feeds!

          Crush or not crush, then how it goes. Initially, the states unleashed a scandal with the aim of then, as it were, to make concessions to us with setting their conditions. First of all, the task is not to fall for this bogeyagu, and then according to the situation ... That's what diplomats are for. It seems that they did not bite, but so far nothing concrete

          that he will report to Vladimir Putin on the results of negotiations with his American counterpart.

            Since the States wanted to talk to us, it means that ours have already achieved something in tug-of-war.
            Of course, they will not tell us what they have achieved.
            The following can be seen offhand:
            - the ban on hiring our citizens will not last long for them, last time they withstood 2 months and began to negotiate,
            - Democrats are reluctant to quarrel strongly over Ukraine and SP-2 with Germany, and without a quarrel to stop SP-2 in order to support Ukraine - it is impossible, at least for now,
            - the arms race is now even the States are unbearable - everywhere they have problems requiring serious investments, due to previously adopted decisions, both with ICBMs, and with aviation, and with hypersound, and with the fleet, not to mention covid,
            - our dedollarization activity creates unnecessary precedents for the States,
            - already everyone who is on friendly terms in the States has realized that pressure on Russia does not bring the desired results - the agents have been crushed, the embassy is isolated and cannot influence anything, the main hope has crouched, we are driving the Ukkkrov, etc., etc.,
            - testing new weapons,
            - the sanctions have been exhausted, then either to fight (and the States are not ready to fight), or to start negotiations.
            So let's see how things unfold. hi

The Americans did a very clever thing, they introduced economic sanctions, sanctions against the financial sector, industry, etc. and now they say let's cooperate on the global climate, arms control, on regional problems ... but they do not want to raise the issue of lifting the sanctions, i.e. Russia will always be kept under sanctions and its growth will be limited, and with such an attitude, is there any point in talking at all? Ours, of course, will enter the dialogue in any case, but is it really necessary for Russia .... considering that Biden is with the administration, they are not planning to change their course.

Today, concern has changed to "mirror". Actually, it was like that before. Do you want our Foreign Ministry to throw tantrums on every occasion, like Blinkin at a meeting with the Chinese? The Foreign Ministry, by definition, is not pursuing its own personal political line, but the line agreed by the president. If we are to make claims in the area of ​​foreign policy, then the guarantor. But the neighbors, retired politicians, are all recklessly complaining, we would have such a guarantor.

        Want to replace? What complaints do you have against the Foreign Ministry? I don't want to defend them, just wondering ...

        There are many claims to the Foreign Ministry: never in a thousand-year history has Russia been in such political isolation. Where are our allies? Ukraine was chuckled. Politics in the post-Soviet space in the opera ... re. Belarus does not puzzle? How long will European midgets wipe their feet on Russia in response to our concerns and energy supplies? And such questions can be asked until evening.
        And so, yes, we have the best foreign minister: poet, musician, humorist. But not at all Gromyko.

          Well, we are not the USSR, no matter how anyone treats him, with the entire Warsaw Pact. Politics is the art of the possible. Treaty positions today are based on the strength of the economy and the military. What we own, these are our possibilities. There is no other way.

    The United States is again imposing sanctions against firms involved in the construction of the SP-2. No sanctions are imposed on the joint venture itself. A sort of Jesuit decision. The United States brazenly crawls into all the holes in Ukraine, Central Asia, the Baltic, the Middle East, and the Black Sea. Foreign agents and other so-called "opposition" in Russia are simply maddened.
    So why meet an old man from the United States who hardly decides for himself what shoes to wear in the morning? Moreover, in the territory controlled by the USA. Apparently, the policy of appeasing the aggressor, pursued in the XX century, taught nothing. Or is it a game like "meet and not meet", like fortune-telling on a chamomile.
    There is also a second option: two presidents at once to meet in Reykjavik, and before that declare "perestroika" in Russia, sorry, "general digitalization" (of course, it is necessary to start with agriculture) and not fool people.
    Sorry for the sharpness, it’s sore.
