Russian Permanent Representative Ulyanov refuted statements by Western media about the "isolation" of Russia

Russia has never been "isolated" from the world and has always actively developed friendly relations with various countries. This was announced on August 17 by Mikhail Ulyanov, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to International Organizations in Vienna.

According to some Western media, the Alaska summit "broke through Russia's international isolation."

"Nonsense. Russia has never been isolated," Ulyanov replied to such statements in his Telegram channel.

He noted that Russia has always sought to establish and maintain cordial relations with the international community, not counting the countries of the European Union (EU) and the G7.

Ulyanov also stressed that the new US administration had shown political foresight by resuming dialogue with Moscow at the highest level.
