According to the newspaper Rakyat Merdeka, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in an interview with Indonesian journalists, said that all unfriendly actions against the Russian side will not remain unanswered, and, moreover, quite tough.
“The result in all directions is possible only through finding a mutually acceptable balance of interests strictly on a parity basis… Attempts to conduct a dialogue with Russia from a position of strength are doomed to failure: we will respond harshly and decisively to unfriendly actions,” the minister said.
Sergey Lavrov also suggested that Washington move to honest interaction if they really want “stable and predictable relations” there.
At the same time, he noted with regret that after the inspiring meeting of US and Russian Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin in Geneva, the White House took up the previous “notations” with a vengeance.
