“So far, we have not seen any signs from Kiev or its ‘handlers’ that would tell us they are ready to start a political process,” said the Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

He also recalled that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a special executive order making illegal talks with the government led by Vladimir Putin. “Listen to what the leaders of NATO and the EU are saying: they have to support Ukraine because if Ukraine is defeated, it will be a defeat for all of the West,” added Sergei Lavrov

“Just like tango, it takes two to get a political process underway. The guys on the other side, though, are not dancing tango; they are break dancing which takes only one person,” Lavrov outlined the situation.
