Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that Moscow does not recognize signals from Kiev or the West that there is a desire for a political solution to the war in Ukraine.
“So far we have not seen any sign from Kiev or its leaders that they are ready for a political agreement,” the head of Russian diplomacy said at a news conference in Skopje, where he took part in the 30th meeting of foreign ministers Affairs of the Organization. for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
In early October, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, signed a formal decree that “confirms the impossibility of conducting negotiations with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin” and binds all national citizens.
On the other hand, “When we listen to the leaders of NATO and the European Union, they say only one thing: we have a duty to support Ukraine, because if Ukraine is defeated, it will be the defeat of the entire West. ” said Lavrov.
To start a political process you need two, like tango, but the guys on the other side are not dancing tango, but break dancing, he added.
Therefore, he emphasizes that Russia sees no reason to revise the objectives of its military campaign in Ukraine, which Putin defined as the “demilitarization and denazification” of the neighboring country.
