Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, asked about Russia's stability in the aftermath of a failed mercenary mutiny, said on Friday that his country has always emerged stronger and more resilient from any difficulties. Lavrov, who was speaking at a news conference, said the reaction of many Western officials to Saturday's aborted mutiny by Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin - who had said that the facade of Russian power had cracked - showed indirectly that the same officials were at war with Moscow.
