Lavrov said that Russia intends to choose the interests of Greece on security issues – Politics
MOSCOW, 18 February. /TASS/. Greece has its own position on public initiatives on security guarantees, Ukraine, the Eastern Mediterranean and other INF countries, and Russia is interested in taking part in Athens’ work. This was announced on Friday by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, opening a high-class position with Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias.
“We really appreciate our dialogue in the opinion of the RIAC. Now everyone is talking about the Russian initiative to guarantee security, Ukraine, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Balkans, the Transcaucasus, the Middle East and North Africa,” he said. “Our Greek friends have a place in all directions.” We are interested in your interests taking part in our work.”
Russia also put forward to the United States demands for security guarantees, in particular, the non-expansion of the alliance and the withdrawal of strike weapons. The West did not begin to meet the initiatives, using the cases of “preventing” the case of the impending Russian invasion of Ukraine. The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, has already called such assessments of the intentions of aggression attributed to Moscow as empty escalation. At the same time, he did not rule out provocations from the West and Kiev to justify such statements.
