Lavrov said Macron’s attempts to change Russophobian sentiment in the EU

He said this in an interview with the Big Game program, a fragment of which was shown on Channel One.

“Russophobia rolls over. I have already said more than once that, to my great regret, the position of both NATO and the European Union towards Russia is determined by a rather aggressive, noisy Russophobic minority, ”TASS quoted him as saying.

Lavrov also added that it is very important for diplomacy to change such a narrative.

“And the French president is trying to do this, a number of other leaders of the countries-members of NATO and the European Union are trying to do this,” the Russian minister said.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called Russophobia the idea of ​​recognizing Russia as “the sponsor of terrorism."
