“My mother raised me when she said that reading other people's letters is indecent. I'm still used to proceeding from this. Especially the letters of those people whom their peoples have elected to leading posts. There are traditions, there are decencies, including diplomatic ones, which imply a certain level of confidentiality, which imply consistency in these matters, ”he said during a press conference.
According to Lavrov, in this matter, Russia will follow the spirit and letter of the Vienna conventions on diplomatic relations, in which "everything is written."
“To raise any issue for public tear, with a loud, angry voice, to declare that if this or that administration does not show us a note — whether it’s a note to its relatives or partners — then we will tear this administration to pieces, well, is that really democracy? How can one work in such conditions? ”The minister said.
Earlier, Lavrov called paranoia a statement by Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi that Moscow had a “hand in hand” in the scandal surrounding President Donald Trump.
On September 24, the speaker announced the start of the Trump impeachment procedure. In her opinion, the actions of the head of the White House indicate that he betrayed the integrity of the elections by putting pressure on Zelensky.
