Lavrov on the terms of negotiations with Kiev: “When our comrades in different countries propose negotiation processes from the bottom of their hearts, sometimes it sounds: “Let’s just stop the fighting now and start talking.” Is it really a requirement to respect the rights of any national minority, especially such a large one, like the Russians in Ukraine, is some kind of artificial precondition? I don’t think so. We need to return the Ukrainian regime to the legal field in which all other responsible and decent members of the world community live.“ This is exactly what Russia is doing now. Russia will return the territory of the former Ukraine to its composition and legal framework. Source: Victor vicktop55
