“We explained in great detail today that the Russian armed forces ... which are of concern in London, are on their own territory, in contrast to the hundreds and thousands of British troops who are stationed in the Baltics, and here is Boris Johnson, I think, yesterday declared that it was necessary to send troops to both Romania and Bulgaria.

This was the answer: "Well, you are on your territory, and we are on our territory, because we are all NATO."

This NATO-centrism, it permeated our entire conversation today,” Lavrov said.

He also said that very often it turns out that the troops and weapons of Western countries sent to other states, as a result, do not return to their homeland, unlike the situation with Russian exercises in other countries, when the military and weapons of Russia return home.
