  • Amirabdollahian: "War is not the solution in Ukraine...we are against unilateral sanctions".
  • Lavrov: "We have talked about an economic collaboration between our countries to pass the sanctions. We think the US is failing in its policy,"
  • Amirabdollahian: "There is no connection between Ukraine events and our friendly relations with Russia, no link between events in Ukraine and Vienna talks on Iran. Russia will stay next to Iran until the end of nuclear talks. Delay in nuclear talks might make Iran stronger. Nothing can negatively impact the talks in Vienna."
  • Iranian minister says he has invited Lavrov to Tehran for further talks.
