Lavrov says Russia will ‘no longer rely’ on West for energy trade as Moscow pivots to India and China

The Independent  

Russia will no longer rely on partners in the West for its energy trade and its new energy policy will be oriented towards more reliable partners such as India and China, foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said. Mr Lavrov also tore into the US and said Moscow "will not let the West blow up gas pipelines again", referring to the Kremlin’s accusation that Western countries were responsible for the sabotage of Nord Stream pipelines in September. Mr Lavrov, who held his own press conference following the G20 meet with entry restricted to limited members of the media, said Chinese foreign minister Qin Gang joined Russia in pushing G20 members to include the Nord Stream issue in the G20 communique. Mr Lavrov and US secretary of state Antony Blinken spoke face-to-face for the first time about Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine on the sidelines of a G20 meeting where ministers traded blame over the conflict.
