“We want to settle the situation as soon as possible, to put an end to this war that the West was preparing and finally launched against us through Ukraine,” the Russian foreign minister said
Russia wants the settlement of the crisis in Ukraine and the end of the war as soon as possible, announced today the head of Russian diplomacy, Sergei Lavrov, in a televised interview.
“We are in no rush, as President Vladimir Putin said. We want to settle the situation as soon as possible, to put an end to this war that the West has been preparing and finally launched against us through Ukraine.”said the Russian Foreign Minister.
Lavrov made it clear that Moscow has no desire for dialogue with the West, as Western leaders “they have declared that security in Europe must be built at the expense of Russia”.
At the same time, he reminded that a condition for the resumption of the dialogue with the Kyiv is for the Ukrainian government to recognize Russia’s annexation of the Donetsk, Luhansk Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.
Referring to the delivery of US Patriot missiles to Ukraine, Lavrov said he had been told in Russia through diplomatic channels that Washington did not intend to clash militarily with Moscow: “We asked the Americans if the decision to transfer the Patriot system means that there will be American specialists there (in Ukraine)… They explained to us in detail that there are no such plans, precisely because the Americans do not want to clash with Russia. They said it will be several months before the Patriot system is operationally ready.”so that Ukrainians can be trained in its use.
The head of Russian diplomacy argued that the main reason why Washington insists on repeating inspections under the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty is to “understand what awaits them in the event of a direct conflict with Russia.”
