They were prepared for a long time. It is unlikely that these sanctions will be lifted,» Lavrov said in an interview with the TF1 TV channel. «At least the United States not publicly, but in contacts with their allies, they say that when all this (the situation around Ukraine) is over, the sanctions will still remain,» the minister noted. Lavrov noted that in this case, we are no longer talking about «Ukraine, which acts as a tool, a «bargaining chip», but about curbing the development of Russia.» «It prevents the West from establishing a unipolar world, which Washington proclaimed with the obedient consent of Europe,» summed up the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
