In the Russian Federation reacted: Poland did not let Sergiy Lavrov at the OSCE meeting
In the Russian diplomatic department, such a decision was considered "unprecedented and provocative". The Russian Foreign Ministry press service reports. The OSCE meeting is scheduled for early December in the Polish Lodz. The day before, Poland stated that officials may not be present in the West, who have EU sanctions. Lavrov was on the lists of sanctions in February, after the Russian Federation began a full -scale invasion of Ukraine.
In the Russian Federation, it was recognized as "an unacceptable incident against Russia" and called the culmination of all "anti -heading" of Poland in the OSCE in 2022. Poland presides in the OSCE this year, and in the Russian Foreign Ministry believe that the decision of Warsaw to prevent Lavrov does not agree with the status of the head of the head. Russian diplomats appealed to other representatives of the organization to evaluate Warsaw's decision.
Instead of Lavrov, Alexander Lukashevich, a permanent representative of the Russian Federation at the OSCE, will go to the OSCE meeting. Recall that Lavrov commented Zelensky's statement on G20. According to journalists, the Russian minister resorted to the same rhetoric as Putin before a full -scale invasion of Ukraine. Earlier, Focus reported that Bellingcat found out whether the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov was hospitalized at the twenty summit.
