Lavrov: the head of the Swiss Foreign Ministry did not explain the meaning of the Copenhagen format without Russia. “The fact that this is a propaganda move, to which the West attaches great importance, is a fact,” TASS quotes him as saying.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow was surprised by the comments after a meeting with Lavrov on the sidelines of the UN Security Council about allegedly seeking ways for negotiations on the Ukrainian conflict. The meeting between Cassis and Lavrov took place in New York on January 23.
