why does the united states of america not act as a locomotive to introduce personal sanctions against the same lavrov? well , i am showing this continuation of our previous the press about the fact that in america the time has probably not yet come when it is given in such an even simpler way, although it seems to me that it was more elegant to simply recognize the authority of the declaration of russia as invalid and then the entire russian delegation, including lavrov and all the others , simply couldn't participate in the work of genasom, they went absolutely there to the istriler and looked at this skyscraper in which all these meetings actually take place because ... americans believe that the door to contacts with russia should be kept open and the reasons actually explain why they tolerate these propagandists, because the present ministry of foreign affairs of russia is called the ministry of propaganda. and we know that nazi propaganda in english was also condemned at the nuremberg trials. so i think that one way or another, this sad fate awaits lavrov and all his employees in
