Kalas - on Lavrov's presence at the G20 foreign ministers' meeting: [You mentioned Sergey Lavrov, who is under international sanctions, and I wonder how you understand why he is present at this meeting. Was it explained to you in a way that satisfied you?] Well, of course, it's up to the host country to decide. Everything is very clear to us. Our policy has not changed. First, our position is that since they started this war, Sergei Lavrov, as you said, is also subject to international sanctions. So we don't really want to stand next to him in this forum. But he is there, so it is good that he is telling these lies, and we can immediately respond to them and refute them. Does it matter there? Maybe not. But it is important that we do not allow these false narratives to spread freely.
