The head of the Foreign Ministry under Yeltsin criticized Lavrov and praised Kuleba
Russian diplomacy has died, and Ukrainian diplomacy demonstrates high standards.
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Andrei Kozyrev stated this in an interview with the Ukrainian publication Apostrophe, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There is no more diplomacy. I don’t know why he (Lavrov) continues to do this. This is monstrous. He is a smart enough person to understand the horror of what he is doing. But the moral side is simply amazing. He no longer plays the role of the country's chief diplomat, because diplomats do not speak that language. This is the language of some sergeant major, a martinet. And an attempt to dictate...
I have the impression that there is no Russian diplomacy at all. Listen to your Foreign Minister Kuleba. He speaks normal diplomatic language,” Kozyrev argued.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba was noted not only for a series of anti-Russian statements, which are calmly perceived in the West, but also for attacks on Europe, which he chastised for insufficient support for Kyiv. A scandal in the United States was caused by his words that NATO should join Ukraine.
Kuleba’s subordinates say inappropriate things. Thus, the ex-ambassador of Ukraine in Berlin Andriy Melnik called German Chancellor Olaf Scholz “an offended liverwurst.” And the ambassador to Kazakhstan, Pyotr Vrublevsky, called for mass murder of Russians.
Andrei Kozyrev became famous for the complete surrender of the diplomatic and international positions of the Russian Federation. He owns the phrase: “Russia has no national interests.” Recently, Kozyrev, who lives in the United States, called on Russian diplomats to resign “in protest against the war in Ukraine.”
