According to the Minister, Russia is ready to dialogue with the West, but only on an equal basis.

"If the EU decides that the absence of normal dialogue on sectoral issues - energy, agriculture in other areas - is wrong, then we won't argue. But if the EU wants <...> to maintain their sanctions, and to convince us to make any exceptions to measures for the protection of our agricultural producers, primarily from the point of view of their lending by Russian banks, in one gate we play too will not" - said of the Lares at a press conference on the results of the diplomacy of the Russian Federation in 2014.
