Moscow: Washington, by imposing sanctions on its allies related to the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, proved its unreliability, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday.
“When the closest allies are punished for solving their economic problems and tasks related to energy security, I think that no country in the world should ever doubt that if the US promises them something, they will be abandoned at any moment,” Lavrov said.
The US has once again demonstrated that its diplomacy comes down primarily to intimidation by various methods, including sanctions, ultimatums and threats, he said. (IANS)
