Kosyrev said: “is a barbarous act. I couldn't imagine when I was a foreign minister, it was completely out of the question”.
But later on, I began to realize that they are going down the hill, so to speak, and feel unpunished, both inside and abroad. And this greatly increased the appetite, not the construction of Russia. Now in this brotherly war, they are destroying the future of all brotherly men”, he added.
Kosyrev also said sanctions from the West against Russia “should begin to target decision-makers or executioners of those decision-makers in the government.
He warned that sanctions targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov are “to do almost nothing because nothing, I think, is not in their names... You can't find their assets. It's all [with] other people. ”
On Tuesday, Kozureev wrote on Twitter, calling on all Russian diplomats to resign from their posts in protest of Russia's continuing invasion of Ukraine.
Kosyrev was Russia's first foreign minister under Boris Jelzin after the Soviet Union was disbanded.
