MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On Tuesday, media reports emerged claiming that Churkin filed a complaint against Hussein after he slammed Trump and two European politicians.

"His position is not about passing the ruling or passing judgment on sovereign states – his position is to protect human rights and this does not involve intervention in domestic affairs," Lavrov told CNN.

The Russian minister added that the demarche did not include the names of Trump or any other politicians.
