Russian state television ran footage of crowds greeting Mr Lavrov in the pouring rain on Wednesday, alongside a welcoming party waving pom poms. “We are fully aware that many countries worldwide share similar viewpoints and assessments, but only a select few, such as the DPRK , explicitly declare their solidarity with Russia and can express it openly,” Mr Lavrov said.
