Once again, NATO boss Mark Rutte is causing a stir with a remarkable statement. In a TV interview, he called Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov ‘a minister since the birth of Jesus Christ’ and added that ‘nothing sensible has come out of his mouth since then’. Russia expert Bob Deen calls the statement clumsy and incorrect.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte had a more ironic note at the address of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in an interview for Fox News. Asked what he believes about Russia's position - transmitted through Lavrov - linked to NATO's assistance for Ukraine, Rutte replied that the Russian official, although he has been "from the birth of Jesus Christ", said nothing "user" in his life.
