Question: How would you comment on the recent statements by US presidential candidate Donald Trump claiming that in a telephone conversation with President of Russia Vladimir Putin he allegedly threatened to "hit Moscow". What kind of rhetoric is this, assuming it's true?
Sergey Lavrov: I don't wish to interfere in the US election campaign. I believe the issue is that the rivals in this race for the White House are focused on finding arguments they think will sway voters in their favour.
Question: Could such a thing have been said in a telephone conversation with President Putin?
Sergey Lavrov: I don't want to comment on that. Obviously, this statement was made in the context of the election campaign. I don't want to discuss it.
