Its integration Russia in NATO is impossible because the West does not want to have comparable rivals with similar influence in the international arena, said the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an exclusive interview with journalist Vladimir Salaviov and his YouTube channel.

Asked if Russia could join NATO under certain conditions, especially on equal and corporate terms, Lavrov said: does not see such a possibility, transmits the APE-MPE.

“I do not see such a situation, because the whole process revolves neither around NATO nor the European Union, revolves around the fact that the West does not want to have any comparable rivals with similar influence in the international arena “, said Lavrov.

This attitude of the western countries, according to the minister, explains this “hysteria towards the rise of China”, which has accepted the rules of the game that the West “introduced to the world economy” and with the western rules “surpassed the West in her own stadium “.
