Russia-EU Relations Are Pitiful, Says Lavrov

The state of relations between Russia and the European Union is currently pitiful, and communications have been reduced to a minimum. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a press conference following negotiations with Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg on Wednesday.

"We specifically focused on the dire state of relations between Russia and the European Union. Communications with Brussels have been minimized due to the EU's policy aimed at deterring Russia," said Lavrov.
