Granting of EU candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova is part of the geopolitical gambit against Russia - Sergey Lavrov

Russian Foreign Minister says the granting of EU candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova is part of the geopolitical gambit against Russia.

“Part of the geopolitical gambit against Russia is granting Ukraine and Moldova (which, apparently, also has an unenviable fate) the status of a country - an eternal candidate for the EU”, - said Sergey Lavrov.

He added that there will be no financial or economic benefits within the “European Political Community” proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron, but the EU will invite all countries, “from Iceland to Ukraine” to join it, except Russia, and will demand solidarity with the EU’s anti-Russia course of action.
