Foreign Min Lavrov-No Talks Possible w/Ukraine's Zelenskyy

RUSSIA

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivering comments to reporters. Lavrov states that Russia will be "ready to respond to Western proposals on Ukraine" as "the West decides everything for Ukraine". Says that so far "We don't see any serious proposals", and that talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are "not possible". Likens actions of the US to those of Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler.

  • Lavrov: "The West tries to wear down Russia by sending more weapons to Ukraine".
  • Lavrov: "It's senseless to discuss only Ukraine with the West."
  • Lavrov: "There should be no military infrastructure in Ukraine threatening Russia's security."
  • Lavrov: "Crisis in Ukraine started way before special military operation - What is happening in Ukraine is the result of US preparation for hybrid war against Russia."
