>”The European Union does not conceal its intentions to restrain [Russia] in every possible way and push it out of Central Asia and the South Caucasus. These attempts are futile. We have been historically present here and will not disappear anywhere. Both our partners and our allies are well aware of that,” Russia’s top diplomat said in the Moscow. Kremlin. Putin program whose fragment was posted by journalist Pavel Zarubin on his Telegram channel.
>Commenting on an article that appeared in the Western media after French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Kazakhstan, in which the Central Asian country was called [Russian President Vladimir] ‘Putin’s backyard,’ Lavrov said that Western leaders “allow themselves quite boorish pronouncements.”
>”French President Macron publicly said during his visit to Kazakhstan that he was glad that that country would never be anyone’s vassal. This is also quite coarse for the diplomatic language,” the foreign minister said.
>Earlier, Macron said following his meeting with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev that Kazakhstan “refuses to be a vassal of any power states and builds a balanced partnership with several of them for the benefit of the Kazakh people,” noting that this philosophy was close to France.

Indeed, Russia is doing all of that by itself.
It’s going to be funny when Dagestan wants independence.
Guess what, no one needs to push Russia out, those countries just choose the perspective of freedom, peace and prosperity that the EU shows, rather than the perspective of a satellite-state of an oligarch bandit country.
Cope.
Russia is part of Central Asia, no one is trying to push it out.
“push” out? theyre pushing themselves out
maybe if they spent the last 40 years building their economy and relations instead of stealing everything that isnt nailed down and pissing everyone off, they’d be “pushing” us out
now all we gotta do to “push” them out is be receptive to people that wanna cooperate, out of their own free will
Naah the ape-man is right the EU wont push them out from there. It’ll be China in Central Asia and Turkey in the Caucasus. Who needs enemies when they have friends like Russia has
I don’t see any successors to Lavrov/Putin who will be able to disallow it in the future. I bet EU/NATO/China are betting on it as well.
Saying Kazakhstan won’t be a vassal to anyone is shocking for Lavrov? Fuck him and his regime, really.
//Big Chinese Grin//
EU don’t need to ‘push’ anything. Look at Kazakhstan, since they got China backing them, their eyes turning away from Russias influence.
>EU will not ‘push’ Russia out of Central Asia and the South Caucasus.
Pfft, of course not. In one region China is pushing you guys out.
And in the other the people there, or your sheer idiocy, is pushing you out.
[Georgia: i mean, look at 2008 to see why. Azerbaijan: they called their bluff and got away from ignoring Russia-led “peace deal”. Armenia: do i even need to say?]
Is he implying Russia is a colonial empire?
Rotten jar of pickles.
What does he mean by “push out” ? They’re independant countries who can trade with whoever they want.
Don’t worry, China will!
But no mention of Ukraine, is that admitance that they might be pushed out?
The beginning of the end of Russia’s domination in North Asia. Europe and China will have plenty to do in this region in the coming decades.
Well, shucks, Sergey. Thanks for letting us know what you fear. We’ll get right on that.
Russian government thugs love to pull the western interference card all the time, so let’s actually have some.
Get on it, NATO intelligence services. Give them what they want. Let’s be neighborly 😈.
Russia can push itself out of Central Asia and the South Caucasus all by itself.
I don’t think it’s about pushing Russia out. It’s clear that Russia was not assisting Armenia, so there was an opening for France.
Sergey is correct. EU will not push Russia out of Asia. But China will.
They are playing this silly game of showing muscles on peaceful Europe whilst hoping it would be enough to scare China.
Push? We hardly talk to those countries. Whatever happens there will be all on Russia.
The supreme irony of Russian foreign policy is that if they were a peaceful democracy that got along with their neighbors, they would almost certainly have the sphere of influence they so desperately desire. After all, Russia has tons of arable land and resources. Countries around the world would love to partner with a country that can provide food, fuel, fertilizer, and minerals.
But Russia has never chosen to be that kind of country.
Russia have already shown they’re unable to project power into the caucuses at the very least…
Many in central Asia have also stated their movement away from the Russian sphere…
This is basically the daily Lavrov cope.
