Kremlin denies that Foreign Minister Lavrov has fallen into disgrace with Putin after an explosive phone call

The Kremlin denies that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov (75) has outdone President Vladimir Putin. Lavrov did not appear at a meeting of the Russian Security Council this week and will not lead the Russian delegation to a G20 summit. That fueled rumors that he has fallen from grace. The cause is pointed to an explosive telephone call that blew up the summit between Putin and US President Trump in Hungary.
