Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Serguei Lavrov: “Some countries have recently lost their way”
Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Serguei Lavrov sharply criticized the foreign policy of the United States during a meeting of the Russian Council on International Affairs. This was reported in the Russian press bulletin covering the period from March 30 to April 5, 2026, published by the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Senegal and Gambia, and received by Seneweb today.
It is reported that speaking before the members of the Russian Council on International Affairs, Lavrov stated that “some countries have recently lost their way by claiming rights over foreign territories.”
To illustrate his point, the Russian diplomatic chief cited two recent American statements, made two days apart.
On one hand, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, questioned about the conflict in the Persian Gulf, conditioned any resolution to the crisis in Iran, accusing it of “blatant violations of international law” unless it opens the Strait of Hormuz.
On the other hand, President Donald Trump stated that “international law matters little to me; I have my own morals and instincts.”
Faced with this contradiction, Lavrov did not mince his words. “Here is a two-pronged strategy,” he emphasized.
