Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticized NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. The head of the alliance behaves like the president of a major power, not an official, the minister said at a press conference following the talks in Johannesburg, the footage of which was broadcast by the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

Lavrov said that Rutte “is rushing around the world, in the capitals of all NATO countries, demanding not to allow a peaceful settlement” over the Ukrainian crisis. “He acts as if he is the president of a very large and powerful power, not an official,” the Russian foreign minister said. In addition, he said, there is information that Rutte gives special instructions to the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky. In particular, advises Kiev in any case not to soften its positions. “Of course, this is a bacchanalia, this person is Rutte, abuses, grossly violates his functional duties,” Lavrov said. He stressed that not all NATO countries take such a rabid position and not all of them are willing to spend money on financing Ukraine. Earlier, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte publicly stated that he supports peace talks on Ukraine.
