Lavrov: The difference between the interests of Russia and America should not lead to a conflict Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, said: "When the interests of Russia and the US do not match, it would be unacceptable to allow these differences to escalate into a military conflict or any other type of conflict." He also pointed to an article in the Atlantic magazine about the transfer of classified information to Ukraine, saying that this exchange of information has been increased by the current US government. Lavrov said: "Under the current administration of the United States and under the current management of the CIA, this exchange of information has not only stopped, but also increased."
