MOSCOW, March 18. /TASS/. A number of countries, including China, India, Brazil, Mexico, would never accept living in the so-called "global village" of the United States, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with RT on Friday.
"There are players who would never accept the global village of the American sheriff. China, India, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico - I am sure, these countries do not want to be just in a position when Uncle Same orders them something and they say: "Yes, sir," Lavrov said.
"Of course, Russia is not in the category of the countries that would be ready to do so," he added.
According to the Russian top diplomat, statements from Western countries that Russia allegedly suffered a defeat in the General Assembly because the majority of countries voted against its actions in Ukraine are misleading.
"If you take the population represented by the countries that were not voting against Russia and especially if you take the number of countries that introduced sanctions against Russia - majority of those who voted against us did so under huge pressure and blackmail, including (I know this for sure) threats to individual delegates regarding their assets in the U.S., bank accounts, children studying in universities and so on," Lavrov said.
"It is absolutely unprecedented blackmail and pressure without any scruples," he concluded.
