Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>US Ambassador to Pretoria Reuben Brigety, who alleged that South Africa had provided Russia with weapons, should mind his own business, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a news conference on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Asked to comment on allegations by the US diplomat that the Lady R, a cargo ship, was transporting weapons from South Africa to Russia, Lavrov said, \u201cSouth Africa is a sovereign nation. Russia is a sovereign nation, too. And we build our relations in full compliance with the norms and principles of international law that exist in this sphere.\u201d \u201cIf a side has any questions in any domain of our cooperation, we tackle them on a bilateral basis,\u201d Russia\u2019s top diplomat said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf an American or any other foreign ambassador from across the ocean suspects something, he or she had better mind their own business,\u201d Lavrov said. As for weapons deliveries, Russia \u201cnever violates international norms, unlike our Western counterparts who do so, while declaring their neutrality on the developments in Ukraine, as they pump that country with large amounts of the latest long-range and generally unsafe weapons, including for those who use them,\u201d he added, referring to depleted uranium shells.<\/p>\n

The West has been sending weapons to the Kiev regime, \u201cwhose officials have voiced threats to kill all Russians,\u201d Lavrov emphasized. \u201cTherefore, US ambassadors had better take care of their own image in the eyes of the foreign public,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
