Western sanctions - is the desire to show their resentment in decent shape.
This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with the program "Sunday times" Irada Zeynalova with the First Channel.
"With regard to the sanctions - a dead-end road - said Lavrov. - One gets the feeling that our Western colleagues that, if we take a picture of widely for many years created the conditions to "tear" the Ukraine from Russia. " "When they realized that they are wrong and made a mistake by taking actions that undermine all the agreements reached after the collapse of the Soviet Union, to recognize that they could not - he explained. - It interferes with the false notion pride. All sanctions reflexes that we are now witnessing resemble the desire to show their resentment as possible in decent shape ».
"Now I do not choose words because I say it to my colleagues. In conversation one on one, they strongly ask for understanding, to enter into their situation, because "the Western community can not come to terms with this development", that "we understand you, but when we are all together in a group, it must express a common position" - the minister said. - This is from a bygone era, when the game was between the strategic geopolitical rivals, opponents, opposing blocs. The game was on the principle of "either - or", "with us or against us".
Moscow has refused for a long time on this. "Unfortunately, this mentality is not yet obsolete in the minds of many politicians that determine the position of the West at the present stage", - stated the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
"I do not want to say that sanctions are ridiculous and we do not care - he continued. - It's nasty stuff. The fact that these sanctions are trying to focus on a personal plan and to submit them as aimed at someone in person, clearly wanting a painful bite, visible to the naked eye. " "We have this little joy, and pain we experience. We have experienced and such a time, "- said the head of dipvedomstva.
With its Western partners that Russia is quite rich history of relations in the post-Soviet era. "We were welcomed in the democratic camp, based on the fact that we" take the salute, "and all the rules in this part of the Christian civilization shaped the West, we will strictly implement - drew attention Lavrov. - This is not a partnership, and the desire to master the geopolitical "clearing" that manifested itself in the Ukrainian events - the unrestrained desire to quickly make irreversible involve Ukraine into "the Western orbit," without taking into account the fundamental interests of the Ukrainian economy, culture and nation, which is very complex, multi-ethnic, multicultural. Behind all this is the desire to ensure that Ukraine was not a Russian. Remember, as Zbigniew Brzezinski said that Russia and Ukraine - is power, and anything less without Ukraine ».
In this regard, it jarred saying US President Barack Obama about Russia as "a regional power and the fact that all have to pay for." "We have not paid a single human life, in response to the legitimate expression of the will of the Crimean people, - said Sergey Lavrov. - The price that Americans pay for their "games", measured in thousands of human lives - Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yugoslavia. Everything has a price, but it is different ».
