Russia: The United States established a Kurdish state in the east of the Euphrates…

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke at the joint press conference after his meeting with Tunisian Foreign Minister Nabil Ammar.

Assessing the Palestine-Israel issue, Lavrov said: “We will continue efforts to resume direct negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis. “This is the only way to implement current United Nations (UN) resolutions.” he said.

PALESTINE PROBLEM

Lavrov noted that it is difficult to improve the situation in the entire Middle East in the long term without resolving the question of Palestine on an international legal basis.

Recalling that Russia is working with Turkey and Iran within the framework of the Astana format regarding the Syrian issue, Lavrov stated that serious problems persist in Syria’s economy due to Western sanctions.

ALLEGED OIL AND GRAIN TRAFFICKING

Noting that US actions in the east of the Euphrates also negatively affect the economy, Lavrov said: “In the east of the Euphrates, the US has essentially created a Kurdish semi-state and is smuggling Syrian oil and grain. . ” he said.

“THE WESTERNERS STOLEN OUR 300 BILLION DOLLARS”

Lavrov responded to a question about Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen’s statements that sanctions against Russia also hurt Russians and that Russians should also pay the price for the war in Ukraine.

FINLAND DECLARATION

After stating that he is not surprised by the speed with which Finland “trampled” its neutrality status and “joined the anti-Russian project prepared by the US”, Lavrov recalled that until recently the West had always stated that sanctions always had take into account humanitarian dimensions to avoid serious harm to civilians.

Lavrov said: “This is a fairly frank admission. Now Finnish Foreign Minister Valtonen, apparently still an inexperienced diplomat, spoke directly about why these sanctions were introduced to harm ordinary people. According to him, the Russian people must pay the price for such a war. That’s why he wants Russian citizens to rebel against the government. “The statement is absolutely rude.” saying.

“THEY STOLEN 300 BILLION DOLLARS”

Considering that “it would be useless to talk to Valtonen about the price paid by the people of Afghanistan, Venezuela and Syria, whose money was stolen and sanctioned,” Lavrov stated: “Our Western colleagues stole 300 billion dollars from us, together with Finland.” Apparently, they do it so that “Russian citizens also feel their responsibility.” “If we talk about the cost of this or that war, then we can and should think not only about sanctions, but also about what the citizens of Afghanistan and Iraq pay when they bomb, when they deliberately destroy civilian objects to instill fear and sow terror. ” made the statement.
