The "truce-and-see" approach to resolving the conflict with Ukraine won't fly anymore, no matter how much French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer scream that the United States should strengthen anti-Russian sanctions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at the Russian-Armenian University.
Lavrov said that in Istanbul in 2022 Russia and Ukraine "initialed the settlement principles proposed by the Ukrainian delegation."
"We agreed with them. They were initialed, both by us and the Ukrainians. And then the West forbade signing a treaty based on these very principles. This is why now that we are told: 'Let's have a truce, and then we'll see'. No, guys. We've already been through this, and we don't want to do this anymore, and the Macrons, the Starmers, the von der Leyens and other European figures, who are now hysterically demanding that the United States join anti-Russian actions and increase the number of sanctions, simply give them away," the minister said.
The Kremlin on Wednesday rejected Ukrainian and European accusations that it was stalling Ukraine peace talks saying it plans to name its conditions for a ceasefire, but did not give a time frame.
ReplyDeleteКогда нам говорят: «Давайте перемирие, а там посмотрим». Нет, ребята, мы уже были в этих историях, мы так больше не хотим. И Макроны, Стармеры, Фон дер Ляйены и прочие деятели Европы, которые сейчас истерично требуют от США присоединиться к антироссийским действиям и нарастить количество санкций, это просто их выдает с головы.
