The so-called “ground truths” have become different, “and significantly different,” but no one understands this, complained Sergei Lavrov.
The aggressor country, Russia, in the event of new negotiations with Ukraine, will not make any ceasefires during the negotiation process. This statement was made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday, April 19.
According to him, the Ukrainian authorities “have no faith.”
“At the current stage, of course, we always repeat it – and the President (Putin, – ed..), and your humble servant, and Peskov, when they ask if we are ready for negotiations. But, first, he (Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, – edit.) he himself prohibits negotiations.
According to him, Russia is ready for negotiations, but “unlike the story of Istanbul, we will not make any ceasefires during the negotiations.”
“The process must continue,” added the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
According to Lavrov, the so-called “ground truths” turned out to be different, “and significantly different.” He clarified that by “truths” they mean the four temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine, which the minister called “our old, original regions.”
“Everyone should understand this very well The fact that they do not understand it, and not only do not understand, but are not ready to look for any hypothetical compromise, it is also very clear Zelensky’s formula , an ultimatum. there is no alternative, etc.,” he added Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
We remind you that Türkiye, through the mediation of President Recep Erdogan, is promoting the freezing of the war in Ukraine. In particular, the Turkish side developed and gave a new “peace agreement” to Kyiv and Moscow. The project is apparently based on documents from the first negotiations in Istanbul.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin confirmed that Russia is ready for negotiations with Ukraine. The basis for a peaceful settlement could be the “Istanbul agreements” made two years ago.
