Today, on the occasion of #DiplomatsDay, we bring another quote of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov on Russian diplomats: “In all times, true patriots have worked for our foreign policy who have fought for the common cause, including, if necessary, with weapons in their hands. The feat of our comrades, employees of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, who fought on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, serves as an enduring moral compass for all of us”
