The Russian Foreign Ministry pointed to attempts by the West to build a new "iron curtain" with Russia

Western countries have begun to isolate themselves from Russia with a new "iron curtain." This was announced on May 4 by the Ambassador-at-large of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Artyom Bulatov.

Thus, unfriendly countries are trying to irreversibly sever all ties in the Russian Federation on their initiative.

"Westerners are building a new iron curtain with energy worthy of better use, trying to make irreversible the disruption of socio-economic, trade, transport, interpersonal, cultural and historical ties that have been built in the region not even for years, but for centuries," he told RIA Novosti.
