🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a conference on relations between Russia and the European Union, Moscow, May 31, 2021.
💬 Thank you for inviting me to this conference on the situation between Russia and the European Union.
Our common European continent has been hit by an unprecedented crisis in confidence. New dividing lines are again being created in Europe; they are moving further East and becoming ever deeper, like trenches on the frontline. The outlook for a unifying agenda is extremely limited. The role of common European organisations is becoming devalued, and I am referring mainly to the OSCE and the Council of Europe. The mechanisms for structured cooperation and contact between Russia and the EU and NATO have been drained of all substance.
