Russian Foreign Minister Accuses Western Countries of Undermining Conflict Resolution Efforts
On the 24th, Russia-1 television channel broadcast an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. In response to some Western countries' recent statements that they would not engage in negotiations with Russia, and subsequent remarks that additional sanctions would be imposed if negotiations do not take place or do not yield satisfactory results, Lavrov stated: "They are just looking for an excuse to prevent negotiations while trying to shift responsibility onto Zelensky." Lavrov asserted that these actions are aimed at undermining the conflict resolution process jointly promoted and already yielding good results by the presidents of Russia and the United States.
