In a press conference on July 22 following talks with Mozambican Foreign Minister Maria Manuela Lucas, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov lit into Europe for not engaging in meaningful dialogue with Russia, RT reported.
“I really hope that the reasonable approach that the Trump administration showed in this situation after it replaced the Biden administration, which spoke in unison with the unhinged Europeans, that this reasonable approach, which includes a willingness to dialogue and a willingness to listen and hear, will not go unnoticed by the Europeans, despite all the current discussions about the need to arm the Kiev regime again and again and again at the expense of … European taxpayers,” Lavrov stated.
Lavrov continued: “Europe has gone into a frenzy.… They are inciting their peoples in every way possible, instilling in them the spirit of Goebbels’ propaganda that Russia is ... an existential threat, and that Russia is about to attack Europe, so they have to forget about social problems, about failures in the economy, and about the process of deindustrialization, which is observed in Germany and other European countries,” while focusing exclusively on “the militarization of Europe,” Lavrov said.
