Q: Just now, answering a colleague’s question, you said (he asked whether you were sure that you would not be ‘screwed’) that, of course, you were not sure. But I was mostly talking about Kiev. What about the West? What can we talk to them about if they are always deceiving us?
Sergey Lavrov: We were talking about the West to an even greater extent than about Kyiv.
Question: How can we agree on anything with them then?
S.V. Lavrov: Russian President Vladimir Putin is patient. He who has ears will hear. He who has a brain will understand. I am not sure that everything is in order with these organs of the human body. But hope dies last.
