Zakharova reacted to the words of the EU ambassador on relations with Russia

“The most important and honest thing is missing in the quote -“ thanks to the efforts of Brussels, ”she wrote on Facebook.

During his speech at the opening of the 13th Russian-German Raw Materials Conference, EU Ambassador to Moscow Markus Ederer said that the European Union and Russia "are, in principle, at their lowest point since the end of the Cold War."

“And we seem to be dynamically dropping lower every day,” the TAS diplomat is quoted as saying.

He added that it is necessary to use the chances for cooperation, in particular in the field of business.

In early April, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Russian side was ready to revive relations with the European Union, but would not knock on a closed door.

The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, did not rule out further degradation of relations between the European Union and Russia.
