Moscow-Sana
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stressed that some Western countries use the Corona virus epidemic as a tool to punish some countries and governments opposed to their policies.
"Not everyone was ready to test this kind of epidemic, and after a temporary union to confront this threat to humankind, shortly after Western predatory methods returned against all those who opposed their policy or goals," Lavrov said in an article in the Chinese Global Times.
Lavrov criticized the "humiliating" Western policies against anyone trying to cooperate with Russia and asking for medical assistance from it to combat the Corona virus despite the serious health situation and said: "It turns out that European solidarity is a notorious model since the life and health of tens of thousands of ordinary citizens are not important for for them".
Lavrov said that European countries claiming respect for human rights, on the other hand, reject the cooperation of governments and other countries with Russia and try to prevent them by applying economic restrictions from one side to everyone who opposes their policies.
Lavrov stressed that Western countries are trying to take advantage of the current situation to promote "narrow selfish" interests and settle accounts with competitors and opponents.
