Europe is pushing Kiev to continue military operations
The Russian minister noted Europe's role in fanning the flames of crises.
Europe is openly trying to undermine the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters in Qatar.
" Here he is trying to disrupt the trend, announcing new military aid packages, inciting to continue military operations," he said, adding that Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen even stated that peace is worse than war for Kiev.
Lavrov emphasized Russia's position: we cannot enter into agreements that would involve rearming Ukraine.
Moreover, Russia is not considering any option of deploying European "peacekeepers" on Ukrainian territory, especially since no one has asked Moscow about it.
Recall that on February 18, high-level Russian-American talks were held in Riyadh. Russia was represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Presidential Assistant Yuri Ushakov.
The American side was represented by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Presidential Assistant for National Security Mike Walz, and Special Envoy for the Middle East Stephen Witkoff. The issue of resolving the Ukrainian conflict was also on the agenda.
After the meeting, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said that it "did not go badly" and that a serious conversation took place on all issues.
