What Lavrov said about the consequences of the breakdown of negotiations
Lavrov noted that Ukraine becomes smaller every time an agreement is broken.
Which Russia always goes for, ” noted the head of Russian diplomacy.
As an example, he cited the Ukrainian authorities’ refusal to implement the Minsk agreements and Kiev’s disruption of negotiations in the spring of 2022.
Lavrov warned that Kyiv will no longer be able to buy time with the help of some “tricks.”
He also said that Ukraine had permanently undermined its legitimacy and expressed hope that China, Brazil and all those who joined the Friends of Peace group would take Kyiv's habits into account.
And his endless attempts to lure everyone by deception onto very shaky ground, ” added the head of the Russian diplomatic department.
