Russian Foreign Minister: Russia -US relations are worse than the Cold War period

(Morning News) Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said on Wednesday (April 28) that the relationship between Russia and the United States is worse than the Cold War due to lack of mutual respect.

Zhongtong News Agency reported that Lavrov said in an interview with the Russian National Television that Moscow was ready to be normalized with Washington at any time, but warned the United States to stop treating Russia in a current posture.Lavrov said that if the United States avoids mutual respect on the basis of interests, "the two countries will live under the" Cold War 'or worse conditions.

In response to our country at the time, it also limited the work of US diplomats in Russia. "
