Lavrov said that the EU is lowering the "iron curtain" in relations with Russia

“As for the iron curtain, it is almost already descending.

Let them just be careful not to pinch anything.

This process has been launched,” he said during a press conference following negotiations with his Belarusian counterpart Vladimir Makei.

Lavrov added that Russia has not had diplomatic relations with the European Union since 2014.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry also said that Russia would no longer trust the European Union and the United States, and if their “obsession with their own greatness” passes, then the dialogue will be based solely on fair conditions.
