Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has been attacked by one of his predecessors in a blistering rant as a former foreign minister dubbed Lavrov's "choreography" for Vladimir Putin a "disgrace" in a major sign that Russian support for the regime is slipping.
Despite Russia’s continued bombardment of Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke of his “hope” last week that a peace deal could be reached between the two nations.
Under the proposed agreement, Ukraine would have to scrap its bid to join the NATO military bloc in return for a Russian withdrawal.
Amid the negotiations, Lavrov was attacked last week by the man who once promoted him – Andrei Kozyrev.
The former Russian Foreign Minister, who served under Boris Yeltsin and once installed Lavrov as his deputy, turned on his former “friend” in a blistering attack.
The ex-politician was asked for his reaction to the war in Ukraine on ‘The Economist Asks’ podcast.
Talking about Lavrov, he said: “He was and still is a very good diplomat. And he was my friend, and he shared my views.
“Otherwise, I would not promote him to be my deputy. We worked together for years.
“But it is very painful to see that by now, he went so much down. He is a nobody.
“He is just performing a dance for an orchestra or a choreographer who is there in the Kremlin.
