Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov remarked on Friday that the United States and the European Union will have to work hard to earn his country's trust following their actions against it.
Writing in a column for the Scout magazine, Lavrov noted that the West abandoning "the current Russophobic course" and going back to cooperating with Russia would "benefit, first of all, themselves." Commenting on the conflict in Ukraine, Lavrov described it as "one of the manifestations of a large-scale collision associated with the attempts of a narrow group of Western states to secure world domination and reverse the objective process of the formation of a multipolar architecture."
Earlier this month, Lavrov warned that any sort of collision between Russia and the US represented "serious risks" to the global community.
