According to the minister, after the disgrace in Afghanistan, the West needed a new unifying enemy.

The result is a reincarnation of the Cold War, only now with a much greater risk of it turning into a hot war, said the head of Russian diplomacy.

In his opinion, the whole problem in Moscow’s relations with Washington is that it does not keep its word.

They promised not to promote NATO, but did exactly the opposite, Lavrov gave an example.
