Russia won’t sever ties with Europe, but no business as usual – Lavrov — RT News

November 22, 2014

Russia won’t sever ties with Europe, but no business as usual – Lavrov — RT News.

Russia and the EU are having a moment of truth focused in Ukraine. Moscow won’t be the one to break ties with Europe, but won’t simply go back to how the things were before the crisis hit, said the Russian foreign minister.

“The EU is our largest partner. Nobody is going to shoot himself in the foot and reject cooperation with Europe, but everyone understands that there won’t be business as usual anymore,” Sergey Lavrov told a leading think-tank in Moscow.

“But we don’t need the kind of business we had. The business was like ‘Russia must do this and must do that’, and we want to cooperate as equals,” he added.

‘Ideology blinds Europe’

The minister stressed that the tensions between Russia and the West had been brewing for years before the Ukrainian crisis. Now Europeans decided to go for all-or-nothing and play chicken with Russia. But at least the positions have been made clear, Lavrov said.

Lavrov accuses West of seeking ‘regime change’ in Russia | Reuters.

(Reuters) – Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the West on Saturday of trying to use sanctions imposed on Moscow in theUkraine crisis to seek “regime change” in Russia.

His comments stepped up Moscow’s war of words with the United States and the European Union in their worst diplomatic standoff since the Cold War ended.

“As for the concept behind to the use of coercive measures, the West is making clear it does not want to force Russia to change policy but wants to secure regime change,” Tass news agency quoted Lavrov as telling a meeting of the advisory Foreign and Defense Policy Council in Moscow.

He said that when international sanctions had been used against other countries such asIran and North Korea, they had been designed not to harm the national economy.

“Now public figures in Western countries say there is a need to impose sanctions that will destroy the economy and cause public protests,” Lavrov said.
