Awake Goy Apart from the ongoing world crises and military conflicts, RT also plans to quiz Russia’s top diplomat on the dispute between Moscow and Washington which has further intensified this year. Discussing Russia’s future role on the world stage in an ever changing geopolitical climate is also on the agenda.
Lavrov has long been deployed at the heart of international politics and knows the issues and undercurrents firsthand. Being one of the diplomats spearheading efforts to peacefully resolve the crisis around North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, Lavrov has repeatedly cautioned Washington against any reckless moves, warning, that any potential US military action against Pyongyang would be “a huge mistake.”
The minister also works closely with many international actors to advance the peace process in Syria. In early December, he discussed the situation in the Middle Eastern country with the UN special envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura. Lavrov said Russian initiatives in Syria, including the de-escalation zones, are now aimed at promoting “pragmatic contacts” between the opposition, local leaders and the Syrian government, which could lay the foundation for an all-inclusive national dialogue.
Washington’s relations with Moscow plunged to new lows in 2017, amid unsubstantiated accusations Russia interfered in the US elections. But despite the reality that bilateral relations remain tense and frosty, Lavrov is not giving up on dialogue, with Moscow, according to his deputy, continuing to engage US diplomats almost “every day.”
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will sit with RT for an exclusive interview on Monday, December 25. Tune in at 8am GMT to watch the conversation live, and get a firsthand account on global political developments from Russia’s top diplomat.
