Question: Western media report that Kiev is allegedly pondering starting talks with Russia. They say that Western leaders also talk about this.

Sergey Lavrov: I am absolutely indifferent to this at all. I stopped following this. I used to say that we have a proverb about Yemelya the idle talker, about those who talk too much. It refers to all that.

Question: Did you see the statement Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico made yesterday about launching a missile strike at Brussels? He said they talk about long-range missiles so flippantly that he suggested they think of a missile hitting Brussels.

Sergey Lavrov: He is an intelligent and decent person. An honest politician. There are few people like him. You should listen and hear what he says.
