> Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia would never pursue Europe and plead for sanctions to be lifted. He said Russia had not built walls or isolated itself from Europe, describing that separation as the European Union’s choice, and added that Russia has its own national pride and needs no one’s goodwill.
