Lavrov: details of Russian-Ukrainian agreement will be determined by stage of hostilities – Russia |
25th of April. Interfax-Russia.ru – An agreement between Moscow and Kyiv will be reached, the parameters will be determined exactly “on the ground,” announced Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
“As in any situation where armed forces are used, of course, everything ends with a treaty.
Commenting on the settlement of the situation, Lavrov noted: “Everything does not depend on us. It depends on those who lead Ukraine, who discover the external control of the Zelensky administration.”
“I mentioned Istanbul, as we then received at a face-to-face meeting, what the Ukrainians proposed, and said that we are ready to accept this as a basis, and gave our clarifications, guarantees of security and guarantees of order, – so, rudely, if at all,” – said the Russian minister.
He recalled that the Ukrainian side eventually moved away from this observation: “Well, for example: it was said in the Istanbul document that there would be no foreign military bases in Ukraine and there would be no important scientific research involving foreign armed forces, with the exception of how in the case of Israel, all countries that are guarantors of this treaty, including Russia, were directly written. they also acted on a number of other proposals that they made to Istanbul.”
“Speaking about where and when we can still expect the completion of the process, the agreement of some kind of agreement … in Istanbul, the conversation took place in a situation that happened on that earth. Now it is different,” Lavrov said.
