Russia: the West wants regime change accuses Moscow Sanctions against Russia are intended to destroy the economy to cause popular protest accuses Sergey Lavrov. The West does not seek to influence the policy of Russia, but to bring regime change in Russia through sanctions following the conflict in Ukraine, Saturday, Nov. 22 accused Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The West has shown unambiguously that does not seek to force Russia to change its policy, but he wants a regime change, Lavrov said at a forum of political experts in Moscow. Now there are politicians in the West who say we should put in place sanctions that would destroy the economy (Russian) and provoke popular protests, he has said, as quoted by TASS . The United States and the European Union in response to the crisis in Ukraine, set up in Moscow against the most severe sanctions since the end of the Cold War to the fields of energy, defense and finance. These sanctions, Lavrov said, have nothing in common with the kind of sanctions that have been applied against North Korea or Iran, for example, which have been calculated so as not to wrong, hit only the elite and not to cause damage in the social sphere and the economy. At the same time, he denied that Russia is threatened with isolation, as has cautioned the US Vice President Joe Biden Friday if it does not comply with the peace plan Minsk Ukraine. The vast majority of countries, we continue the dialogue with them (....) There is no isolation, Has he said. But he acknowledged that relations with Europe have always changed. Nobody intends to shoot itself in the foot by ceasing to cooperate with Europe, but everyone understands that it is not possible that things continue as before. Russia, in response to sanctions, imposed an embargo on most food imports from the European Union and the United States.
