Russia has no negative feelings towards the American people, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said during a session of the World Youth Festival, where an American youth delegation has arrived.
“We have no negative feelings towards the American people. I have many very good comrades in the United States,” the foreign minister said.
Christopher Helali, vice chairman of the US delegation, said he was “happy to break the blockade and sanctions” imposed on Russia. He noted that American youth would like to “be friends and work together” with Russia.
