For Lavrov, a new “iron curtain” falls between Russia and the West


June 30 (Reuters) – The West is in the process of erecting a new “iron curtain” with Russia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday, echoing the words of Winston Churchill in 1946.

“It is (…) already being put in place. Let them (the Westerners) behave with caution,” he said at a press conference in Belarus.

Winston Churchill had thus depicted the situation of a world dominated, on one side, by the Western bloc, on the other by the USSR.

The “Iron Curtain” disappeared in 1991 with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe. (Reportage Reuters; French version Alize Degorce, said by Sophie Louet)
