Russian special operation in Ukraine
The Russian authorities refuse to take the first steps to argue with Western parties over the situation in Ukraine. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
“We do not refuse disputes, and when appropriate proposals are received, we agree. Although our partners are meeting quietly so that no one knows about this, please. Why talking is always better than not talking. But in the situation in which we are now getting, Russia will not take any first steps,” Lavrov reported at a press conference after the 77th session of the UN Natural Resources. The meeting was broadcast on the official youtube channel of the organization.
The Russian diplomat said that Moscow does not refuse negotiations with Ukraine. He recalled that Kyiv interrupted the aggravation in the middle of summer.
