The embarrassing moment was caught on video.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has made yet another undiplomatic remark. The incident occurred during the 12th session of an international roundtable discussion on the Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine. Footage of the minister’s emotional reaction instantly went viral on social media.
The reason for the official’s outburst was a mix-up involving the media: Lavrov mistook a reporter from Yemen for another participant in the meeting. The foreign minister could not contain his emotions and blurted out an expletive directly into the microphone: “No, f**k it, that’s it.”
The video featuring Lavrov quickly went viral. Users noted in the comments that this mix-up was a vivid reflection of the style of Russia’s modern foreign policy.
