Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on August 28 that Moscow hadn’t heard about any possible EU sanctions against Russia for its actions in Georgia.
Lavrov’s remarks followed a journalist’s request for him to comment on remarks made by French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who said in Paris on August 28 that “sanctions are being considered [by the EU] … and many other means as well as that.” Kouchner did not give further details.
Lavrov then went on to say: “I have met him,” referring to Kouchner, and “he talks a lot.”
“I think this [Kouchner’s statement] proves that he is completely lost, because the beloved child of some Western capitals has not lived up to expectations,” Itar-Tass news agency quoted Lavrov as saying in Dushanbe.
