The West has declared war against Russia and it is hard to predict how long it will last, Moscow’s foreign minister has said.
Sergei Lavrov said the consequences of the war in Europe will be felt around the world.
But speaking about bombing raids on Russia, he warned: “Western politicians should understand their efforts to destroy our country are in vain.”
And he went on to accuse Western nations of stealing other countries’ assets and losing their reputation as reliable partners.
“In the future, the world economy will be de-Americanised,” he said in a speech on the 1st day of Russia’s invasion of Finland.
