Finland “joined the US anti-Russian project,” thereby destroying its reputation and neutral status, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference following negotiations in Moscow with Tunisian Foreign Minister Nabil Ammar.
“I am surprised at the speed with which Finland trampled on its neutral status, its reputation and joined the US anti-Russian project. With what pleasure they do the work prepared for them,” Lavrov emphasized.
Statement by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland Elina Valtonen Lavrov called the idea that Russians should “pay the price” for what is happening in Ukraine “absolutely boorish.”
“I would like to emphasize once again that Finland is moving by leaps and bounds to the forefront of the anti-Russian, Russophobic campaign of the West,” the minister said.
According to the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, “Ms. Valtonen, apparently still an inexperienced diplomat, spoke directly about why these sanctions are being introduced.”
“In order to hurt ordinary people, and, accordingly, as she said, for waging such a war, you need to pay a price to the Russian people, which means that she wants the Russian people to rise up against their own government,” Lavrov said, as quoted by TASS.
