Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was exhausted during a press conference following a meeting with the head of the Saudi Foreign Affairs Adele al-Jubeir in Moscow. The video of the incident on Tuesday is published on YouTube.

Lavrov answered questions from the Arab journalist. He denied that Moscow plans an official meeting with the leaders of the Syrian opposition. The minister noted that individual consultations will be held with a number of them. However, the journalist again asked the question of possible contacts with the opposition, listing their long list. Listening to the journalist, Lavrov rubbed his forehead and through his teeth, but quite clearly said: "Fuck. Debiles, fucking." After that, he quite calmly replied that working with representatives of these groups would continue.

Director of the Department of Information and Press of the Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated the radio stations "Says Moscow" that she conducted this press conference, but did not hear such words. "I was at this press conference and did not hear anything. I can’t comment on what I did not hear. The man coughs, I don’t know what he had. I haven’t heard anything, but what was there on the background or in parallel, I have no comments. I can say that everything that he said is substantive, it was in the transcript, it was heard on the record. Kasles, some other interjections - this does not apply to the topic of negotiations, ”she said.

In October 2012, Lavrov took part in the filming of the Channel One program "Evening Urgant". Answering the question of the host of Ivan Urgant, whether he used unprintable expressions in the presence of foreign citizens who did not understand the Russian language, the Foreign Minister replied: "multiple." The minister did not clarify when and how this happened.

In 2008, The Daily Telegraph reported that Lavrov, in a telephone conversation with the British colleague David Miliband , insulted the miliband using swear words . According to a source of the British newspaper, Lavrov said to Miliband: "Who are you to finding lecture me?" ("Who are you to give me lectures!") In addition, the Russian minister, according to this source, in gross expressions asked if the miliband knew at least a little Russian history.

“Lavrov threw words at the letter F to the right and left,” says the witness of the conversation. “This can no longer be called a diplomatic language.” According to the British press, the abundance of obscene expressions even made it difficult for the Foreign Office to the compilation of a transcript and a memorandum.

Lavrov rejected these accusations. According to him, in the conversation, “Miliband raised exclusively to Russia to blame for what happened in South Ossetia on the night of August 8 and refused to admit the fact of an attack by the Georgian army on the Sleeping Tskhinvali, in every possible way burned out Mikhail Saakashvili as a large democrat.” “In order to familiarize the miliband with a slightly different assessment, I had to tell him about the characterization of Saakashvili, which our colleague from one European country gave him in a conversation with me,” continued Lavrov. “This characteristic sounds like this: Fucking Lunatic (“ Fucking Crazy. ” - Ed.). That, in fact, was a quote that pursued the goal of showing the British Minister Alternative views on the figure of the current president of Georgia. "

According to the Russian minister, the rest of the details published in the newspaper, he "leaves on the conscience of anonymous insiders."
