Sergey Lavrov

Last updated: May 29, 2026

Sergey Lavrov has served as Russia’s Foreign Minister since 2004, making him one of the longest-serving and most influential foreign ministers in the world. His role in South Caucasus affairs has been central to Groong’s coverage: Russia brokered the November 2020 ceasefire that ended the 44-Day War and introduced Russian peacekeepers to Nagorno Karabakh, and Lavrov has been the public face of Russian diplomacy throughout the region’s subsequent crises.

Groong episodes covering Lavrov examine Russia’s mediation role in the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, the breakdown of Russian influence as Armenia shifted toward the European Union and the United States, Russia’s response to the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive that carried out the ethnic cleansing of the Armenian population of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh), and the broader context of Armenian-Russian relations as Armenia reassessed its CSTO membership and strategic partnerships.
