Lavrov said that ‘it takes two, just like in tango’ to start political process in Ukraine
Moscow does not see signals from Kiev and Western countries about readiness for a political settlement – as stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference following the results of participation in the OSCE Ministerial Council, TASS reports
“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.
