Russian FM says won't go 'running after' US for talks at G20

Description

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday he would not chase after the United States for talks as his counterpart Antony Blinken declined to see him at a G20 meeting in Indonesia. "It was not us who abandoned contact; it was the United States," Lavrov told reporters on the island of Bali. "We are not running after anybody suggesting meetings." The United States has sought to isolate Russia on the world stage and aides to Blinken said they saw no point in speaking to Lavrov so long as Moscow pursues its war in Ukraine. SOUNDBITE
