Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the offensive position of Russian diplomacy, noting with irony, that he even has to remind Sergey Lavrov that he heads the Russian Foreign Ministry, and not the Ministry of Defense.
“Some time ago, Russian diplomacy was criticized for the wrong position on the protection of our national interests at the international platform or on all international sites,” the TASS leads the words of the Russian leader.
“Today the situation is absolutely different. Large secrets will not be that our diplomatic department occupies a very active, offensive position. Sometimes I even have to remind Sergey Viktorovich that he is not the Minister of Defense, but the Minister of Foreign Affairs,” Putin said .
