Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused the European Union of subordinating itself to NATO with the cooperation agreement signed last week, with the ultimate goal of serving the interests of the United States vis-à-vis other powers such as Russia or China.
«The EU has lost its independence,» lamented the head of Russian diplomacy, who assured that the agreement signed on February 10, which shows a common front to provide military support to Ukraine, «explicitly» states that the European bloc is «in a position of subordination» to the Atlantic Alliance.
The Minister, who summarized in an appearance some of Moscow’s diplomatic milestones, has bet on strengthening ties with other countries that are not influenced by the supposed interests of the West, within a process that, in his opinion, is allowing the formation of «new centers of economic growth».
Thus, he has defended to bet on new forums with the Asian region or with emerging powers, as well as to look for new alliances in Latin America, reports TASS news agency. Lavrov wants to «build new forms of interaction so as not to depend on the West and its neocolonial methods».
