Speaking at the annual meeting of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Lavrov derided the international body as an "appendage" of the EU and NATO. He also blamed "NATO's reckless expansion to the East" for war returning to Europe before tearing into the OSCE itself.
The Baltic countries - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - have boycotted the OSCE meeting along with Ukraine because of Lavrov's presence. Western ministers in attendance were sharply critical of Lavrov after he spoke.
