Moscow is not prepared to agree to a ceasefire along the front line. The Kremlin will continue to strive to achieve the “goals of the special military operation,” stated Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The Moscow Times reports on this.
During a joint press conference with Mozambican Foreign Minister Maria Lucas, Russia’s top diplomat Lavrov made the relevant statement. The official noted that Russia will continue the war until Ukraine’s complete capitulation.
Lavrov once again referred to dictator Putin’s words and recalled the goals set in June 2024 during Putin’s speech at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Russian dictator, in his speech at the time, insisted on the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the entire territory of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions, which Russia proved unable to capture, recognition of these regions and Crimea as Russian, and Ukraine’s refusal to join NATO. The mythical “demilitarization” and “denazification” of Ukraine were also mentioned once again.
Putin claimed that after these conditions were met, he would “immediately” give the order to cease fire.
“The President clearly confirmed that we will continue to achieve the goals that were set back in June 2024 during Vladimir Putin’s speech at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” Lavrov emphasized.
Reading now: “They brought nothing new,” Lavrov lashed out at European ambassadors over Moscow’s “ultimatum.”
