🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to questions from the Moscow. Kremlin. Putin programme (St Petersburg, June 6, 2024)
❓ Question: US President Joe Biden said in an interview that US weapons would not be used to strike Moscow or the Kremlin. Still, is this not a step towards a major escalation?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: I feel awkward and uncomfortable every time I have to comment on Joe Biden’s behaviour. I feel sorry for the man, purely for humanitarian reasons. It is really difficult to fathom how his mind or body works. Everyone was truly bewildered in France a few days ago.
❓ Question: Joe Biden also said that he has known President of Russia Vladimir Putin for 40 years. Where did they meet?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Today, a Republican congressman listed some of Joe Biden’s statements regarding where he is from, where he grew up, and who raised him. This one can be added to the list.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during a meeting with Deputy Chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council of the Republic of the Sudan Malik Agar (St Petersburg, June 7, 2024)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: We hope that during our conversation you will share information on the latest developments in your country. We are primarily concerned with ending the conflict as soon as possible and returning to the national dialogue.
❗️ We are ready to assist this in every way.
A year ago, we met with you in Moscow. The situation was different at that time. In any case, there are now influential external players that are working out of sync. We would like to bring their efforts to a common denominator to prevent some or other forces inside the Sudan from being tempted to continue the conflict. We will discuss this in greater detail later today.
