"Diplomatic
relations depend on how partners are willing to follow diplomatic
propriety. Our British colleagues, who began to ruin our relationship,
they are not strongly committed to diplomatic propriety now. I have
already said that there have been no replies to diplomatic notes, the foreign office also remained unanswered, "Lavrov said in an interview with Euronews.
"I
have a steady impression that those in the United Kingdom who are in
power, they simply decided their own internal problems, starting with
brexit, to take out to the Russian Federation and explain their internal
problems with the machinations of the Russian Federation," Lavrov
added.
According
to him, the democrats in the United States set an example to the
British, when they began to justify their defeat by saying that Trump
was fighting a dishonest fight and Russia helped him in this.
“It’s sad when internal political squabbles begin to affect relations between leading states,” the minister concluded.
Russia
has repeatedly denied the allegations of attempts to influence the
elections in different countries, and the press secretary of the Russian
president, Dmitry Peskov, called them "absolutely unfounded." Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking of the alleged Russian
interference in elections in the United States and other countries, said
that there was no evidence to support this. Presidential
adviser on national security, John Bolton, also said that he had
received assurances from Russian President Vladimir Putin that Russia
did not interfere in elections in the States.
Putin
stated that this case is internal disputes in the United States, and
expressed the hope that the investigation and the development of
relations between the countries would cease.
