Moscow again threatens Ukraine

Russia still intends to negotiate with Ukraine, but the longer Kiev refuses to do so, the more difficult they will be, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

We do not refuse negotiations, but those who refuse must understand that the longer they delay this process, the more difficult it will be to negotiate, he said.

According to Lavrov, Moscow knows how to achieve its goals.

It should be noted that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky stressed the day before that a dialogue with Russia is possible only in the event of a complete withdrawal of the occupying forces from Ukrainian territory.

We want to end the war, but the space and possibilities have changed. Society does not want to talk to terrorists. Although you can even communicate with terrorists, because they know what they want, Zelensky is quoted by his press service .

He added that he does not trust Russia and is not sure that it will keep its promises.

Zelensky stressed that on the way to negotiations, Russia must recognize itself as an occupier.

If they are not ready, then they do not have the political will. They are not ready to recognize the occupation of our country,” he said.
