“It is you, Mr. Blinken, who drove yourself into self-isolation by skipping a number of forum events, where the majority did not even remember you.
And now, in order to justify your own failure, you compose fables, ”Zakharova wrote on Telegram.
The Russian side was told how Blinken "personally asks everyone to 'isolate' Russia," the diplomat noted.
“And everyone you ask is laughing at your back, knowing that the current Administration is doomed to an inglorious end,” the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman concluded.
On July 7, Sergey Lavrov, during the official dinner party of the G20 foreign ministers in Indonesia, held a series of bilateral contacts "and did not notice the absence, as it turns out, of boycotting," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The minister discussed with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi the situation in Ukraine and the actions of the West in this context.
During the meeting of the G20 foreign ministers, Lavrov's program included meetings with the foreign ministers of Argentina, Brazil, India and Indonesia.
