“The unscrupulous and destructive policy our European partners pursued in Ukraine has backfired on the entire continent which is something we have always warned would happen,” Sergei Naryshkin wrote in his column in Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.
“No new lies about an 'aggressive Russia' will help, and I just don’t understand how such seasoned politicians could have forgotten that moral deficiency is an extremely dangerous thing to have,” Naryshkin added.
He also stressed that the habit of making do without moral principles has already ruined many political careers.
“It is even worse when the interests of entire nations are sacrificed to someone’s lust for power and some ‘lofty’, ideational ends,” Sergei Naryshkin emphasized.
