Given its rich history, the Ukrainian nation deserves to be a creator, not a beggar with cap in hand, Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
"Our Ukrainian “friends” are constantly trying to bring any subject to the level of hysteria. It is their habit and principle to invariably beg the West for something. They believe Nord Stream 2 must be stopped. If this fails, they should be compensated financially. They suggest signing an agreement to the effect that if the Russians “do” something with Nord Stream 2 when it is operative, they need to respond in some way. They are requesting that they be allowed to join NATO and the EU. They say they have been ready for this for a long time and there is no need to make political excuses. They are endlessly nagging and nagging. To my mind, a country should have dignity," Lavrov stressed.
