Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will deliver an extraordinary speech at the Dialogue on Fakes 4.0 forum in Moscow on September 22.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the address by Russia's top diplomat would be extraordinary and shocking for many, according to state news agency TASS. She noted that the minister would address various aspects of countering Russophobic anti-Russian propaganda using concrete examples, though she declined to disclose further details about the specific contents of the presentation.
