Question: What is your assessment of the US statements to the effect that "the peace initiative [is] unacceptable," made in the run-up to the Russia-China summit? Has anything like that ever happened in the diplomatic practice?
Sergey Lavrov: We discussed this with our Chinese colleagues. At this point, we can expect anything on earth from the United States. In a bid to assert their hegemony, they have passed all bounds of diplomatic, ethical or any other kind of decency.
Question: What, in your perception, is the Chinese side's attitude to this pressure?
Sergey Lavrov: The Chinese side reflects the traditions of a millennia-old great civilisation. Over the years, they have developed a style of their own. It consists in dignity plus a habit to subject the developments to a profound analysis and avoid taking hasty decisions. But they do draw truly insightful conclusions.
