MINSK, November 3. /TASS/. Western countries are struggling to come to terms with the new reality and remain unprepared for dialogue on Eurasian issues, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters following the high-level plenary session of the 4th Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security.

"The West’s plan to inflict a strategic defeat on us by arming the Kiev regime and using it as a weapon has failed. Now, the Westerners are simply trying to avoid losing face as they struggle to come to terms with the new reality. For the time being, they are unwilling to engage in any kind of dialogue on Eurasian issues. I’m talking about the need to seek a balance of interests to make sure that everyone in Eurasia feels secure and has opportunities for development," the top Russian diplomat said.
