“Of course, we appreciate that the countries of the Arab world refuse to be led by the West, objectively assess what is happening in Ukraine,” he said.
According to Lavrov, the Arab countries "understand the reasons that led to the current situation, which are the categorical refusal ... of Western colleagues to agree on equal and indivisible security in our common region."
He drew attention to the fact that the countries of the Arab world do not join the anti-Russian sanctions.
Lavrov also said that Moscow respects the fundamental interests of the Arab countries in connection with the threats to their security and they reciprocate.
