Russian FM Destroys France’s Secret Ceasefire Talks – Lavrov Demands Kyiv’s Involvement or NO DEAL!

7 hours ago

In a bold move, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejects France's proposal for secret ceasefire talks on Ukraine, emphasizing that any discussions must involve Kyiv. Lavrov stresses that without Ukraine's participation, such initiatives are not taken seriously. This aggressive stance highlights Russia's position in the ongoing Ukraine conflict, where diplomatic efforts are constantly shaped by the dynamics of international involvement. Lavrov's comments send a clear message that Russia will not engage in behind-the-scenes negotiations without the key player—Ukraine—being part of the process.

00:00Several times, our French colleagues addressed us via restricted channels, secure channels,

00:10offering help and establishing dialogue on the Ukrainian matter without Ukrainian participation,

00:17violating the much-doubted principle of the West, not a single word about Ukraine without

00:26Ukraine.

00:27Well, we are ready to pursue context, we are ready to listen to what they have to say,

00:34but at the same time, France has been the main champion of sending so-called peacekeeping

00:44troops to Ukraine, and they have been training Ukrainian troops on their soil, and they keep

00:51saying in public that Russia should be hit further, and Ukraine should have stronger

01:02positions when talks begin, so you know it's very ambiguous, and we don't have thus a desire

01:13to take our French colleagues' initiatives in earnest.

01:17To a large extent, Europe also has fallen prey to the policy of the United States to

01:24eliminate all sorts of competitors.

01:27Joseph Borrell, that stepped down recently as the EU foreign policy representative, has

01:40recently stated after his stepping down that the West has not been able to isolate Russia,

01:50now he's not bound by the official obligations, and the EU promised to protect Kiev for as

01:57long as it took, but nothing is endless, and he also said that China has substituted Europe

02:05and G7 in a trade with Russia, we're open for any talks, if the talks are on the merits

02:13of which are the root causes and the principles that President Putin has mentioned in June

02:21this year, speaking here on the premises of the foreign ministry, and these are no preconditions,

02:29I emphasize that these are the requirements to deliver what has been subscribed when we

02:38approved the UN Charter.

02:40The Minsk Accords were not an attempt, but a decision of the UN Security Council that

02:46was trampled upon with the connivance of the United States, and Mr. Poroshenko, then President

02:53of Ukraine, signed it, and the former Presidents and leaders of Germany and France, Holland

03:00and Merkel signed it, and they confessed a couple of years ago they were not going to

03:04deliver upon the Minsk arrangements, just they played for time to pump Ukraine with

03:11arms, and now all those ideas in the air that are much less binding than the Minsk set of

03:19measures pursue a similar goal of playing for time for that Nazi.

03:25How can the Nazi regime in Kyiv represent the Crimeans, the residents of Novorossiysk,

03:32Donbass, etc., that were proclaimed terrorists right after the coup d'etat and a military

03:39reprisal operation was launched against them?
