Answering a question from RT correspondent Igor Zhdanov at a press conference in Washington, Lavrov noted that Schiff commented in this vein on the elementary contact between the head of the foreign ministry and the president of another country.
“I do not exclude that very soon our diplomats, after the athletes, will be accused that we accept doping. They will demand to bring us to criminal punishment. The absurdity of this position is completely obvious to me, as I am convinced, and for any sane person, ”said Lavrov.
RT hosted a live broadcast of Lavrov’s press conference in Washington.
Earlier, Lavrov at a press conference following negotiations in Washington with his American counterpart Mike Pompeo noted that their conversation was held in a businesslike and frank manner.
