MOSCOW, 07 July 2021, (TON): Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow will toughly and decisively respond to the unfriendly actions of Washington.

According to the Russian minister, Washington must understand that attempts to conduct a dialogue with Moscow from a position of strength are doomed to failure.

“We will respond harshly and decisively to unfriendly actions,” RIA Novosti quotes the head of the department with reference to his interview with the Indonesian newspaper Rakyat Merdeka.

Lavrov drew attention to the fact that at the summit in Geneva , Russian President Putin made it clear that achieving results in all areas is possible only through the search for a mutually acceptable balance of interests and strictly on a parity basis.

At the same time, according to the minister, despite the fact that during the negotiations there were no objections to this, immediately after them, Washington with a vengeance took up the previous notations and also began to put forward new demands on Russia.

At the Villa La Grange in Geneva, a meeting was held between the presidents of Russia and the United States.

It lasted 4.5 hours, taking into account the break. After the talks, each leader stated that the talks were constructive and proceeded on a positive note.
