Lavrov on the inability of the West to negotiate:

Lavrov on the inability of the West to negotiate: the United States is already openly shifting all the costs of the fight against Russia onto its European vassals, allowing its military-industrial complex to earn money and, as they say, hooking European economies on expensive LNG from overseas, essentially forcing the European business to transfer enterprises overseas in order to reduce costs. The West is not ready for mutually beneficial equal cooperation, and its inability to negotiate is, in my opinion, already recognized by everyone. When he needs to do something according to orders in this particular case from Washington, he breaks any agreements, any violations of international law. Source: Victor vicktop55
