Lavrov says West jeopardizes 'billions of lives' through reckless actions

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the West is jeopardizing the life and wellbeing of millions, 'if not billions,' of people through reckless conduct, according to remarks reported by TASS.

Lavrov said the West 'increasingly resorts to brute force as it acts unpredictably and recklessly.'

The remarks continue a series of critical statements Lavrov made regarding Western foreign policy, without specifying particular incidents or countries in the reported comments.
