Lavrov: The US Is Raising Its Partners Against Russia and China

The US believes that it is the world's masters, trying to put its partners on Russia and China. This was announced by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference on February 6. According to Lavrov, in this way Washington will not be able to gain authority, because respect cannot be achieved by blackmail, dictatorship, or sanctions. According to the news agency, on February 6, Sergey Lavrov said that the United States is currently trying to use principles like the Monroe doctrine. Thus, Washington is demonstrating its intention to provoke a violent confrontation in Venezuela for subsequent armed intervention in the affairs of that republic.
