Lavrov said the West's attempts to isolate Russia had failed. He said the initiators of the anti-Russian policy themselves are forced to admit this.

According to the minister, the West will continue to increase pressure on Moscow and its allies. The British television channel Sky News earlier admitted that his words about the situation around Ukraine and the Russian economy are true. The ambassador spoke about the shift of the front line in Ukraine towards the West and about Kyiv's difficulties in finding resources.
