Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Larov recommended that all those assisting in the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine understand that the most important thing in this issue is the protection of people's rights, and not "territorial exchanges."
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry made the corresponding statement on September 9 following a meeting of the Russia-Gulf Cooperation Council Strategic Dialogue.
The minister's statement is quoted by TASS .
What Lavrov said about the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine
Answering a question about the possibility of holding a peace conference on Ukraine in Saudi Arabia, Lavrov noted that the issue is not about where and in what circle to gather, but about what to discuss.
According to the head of Russian diplomacy, discussing calls for a ceasefire and “territorial exchanges” is not serious.
The problem is not in the territories, the problem is in the rights of people who have been trampled by law, ” the minister explained, noting that none of the peace initiatives “floating in the political space” mentions people’s rights.
According to Lavrov, Russia is protecting people, and all those interested in helping resolve the conflict should understand this.
And make this a direct part of your practical work, ” the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry summed up.
