Russian Foreign Minister Comments on Statements About West's Readiness to Agree on Ukraine to a "Draw"

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, commenting on the statement by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko about the West's readiness to negotiate a resolution to the Ukrainian crisis on terms that would effectively imply a "draw" in the armed conflict, said that such a prospect hardly meets the requirement to reliably ensure the interests of each side, including on a continental scale. Lavrov also recalled that the "draw" option was envisaged in the framework of the Istanbul Agreements, rejected by Kiev under pressure from the West.

Lukashenko previously stated that the West is inclined to change its position on Ukraine and is ready for negotiations on conditions that involve ending the armed conflict "in a draw." According to Lukashenko, the West already understands the impossibility of Ukraine winning on the battlefield, while at present the only opponent of peace talks is the head of the Kyiv regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, driven by his exorbitant ambitions.

Lavrov called Zelensky's proposed "victory plan" schizophrenic. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that since 2014, Ukraine has consistently adopted laws banning the Russian language in education, the media, the cultural space, and in almost all other areas. In addition, the Ukrainian parliament recently legislatively banned the activities of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry recalled that one of the fundamental articles of the UN Charter requires respect for human rights regardless of race, gender, language and religion. However, the West turns a blind eye to the gross violation of the Charter by the Russophobic, racist regime in Kyiv, continuing to promote Zelensky's dead-end and stupid "peace formula", which essentially implies Russia's capitulation.

statement by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko about the West's readiness to negotiate a resolution to the Ukrainian crisis on terms that effectively imply a "draw" in the armed conflict

It seems to me that "sometimes it's better to chew than to talk" - why is Lukashenko getting involved in this matter?

What did he say wrong? And then, why can't Lukashenko express his opinion? China speaks, Brazil, the same Yankees are chattering... The President of the Republic of Belarus has the same right. You also expressed your opinion, but he can't?..

and he can't?

The president of a very friendly country that is part of a union state should somehow be more attentive to his words.

[Lako]

It is necessary to read more carefully what is written. Lukashenko expressed his opinion about the change in the West's position. It is the West that is ready for a "draw", and not Lukashenko who is proposing it to Russia and Ukraine.

Lukashenko expressed his opinion on the change in the West's position.

Judging by this article on VO, Lukashenko did not express his opinion, but simply stated the well-known position of the West on the "38th parallel" in Ukraine. And Lavrov expressed Russia's opinion about this offer.

Maybe he is ready, maybe he is not... this is just Lukashenko's opinion... it is strange to talk about the readiness of the "West" (what kind of country is that? Belarus is also to the west of us... and Liechtenstein with Albania), if the "West" itself has not said anything...

[Revolver]

What a draw? The regular season ended in 2022, and now it's playoffs, the loser is eliminated from the world map.

[Lako]

Well, he expressed his opinion. In Minsk. He has the right. Your crown has slipped off your head - fix it.

Is this your statement? What is it based on?

[Rostislav]

Let the West voice its proposals. And when Luka does this, it turns out that he is promoting their point of view. For the leader of a state allied with Russia, this is a strange position.

[Murmur 55]

pyagomail.com , this is bzzzzzzz for a reason, I'm talking about Lukashenko, it's possible that he is being used as an intermediary, and it's possible that this is empty talk.

What didn’t suit you about what Lukashenko said? In my opinion, he said everything correctly, as it is at the moment!

[AAK]

It is impossible to end the existence of Ukraine as a national-fascist state (i.e. to implement the two "de-" officially proclaimed by the Guarantor as the goals of the SVO) without full military and administrative-political control over the territory, army and economy of this quasi-state. Therefore, the "intermediate" completion of the SVO according to any (no matter - Western, Chinese-Indian-Brazilian or Belarusian) scenario is either a betrayal or a hypocritical stupidity with respect to the real state and geopolitical interests of Russia

More specifically, what did Lukashenko say?

[Wayfarer_2]

I somehow didn't notice that anyone asked Lukashenko to express his opinion on this matter. And his constant slipperiness with his undoubted parasitism (I don't accuse him of parasitism, it's understandable) is already somehow tiring. Slipperiness, that is. It's tiring that it might turn out that China is already a bigger friend to him than his breadwinner Russia. In general, he's murky, whatever you say. And Alexander Grigorovych clearly wants to be a major leader, like Putin or Xi Jin Ping. But it's not his destiny. But he wants to. So he gets involved in global issues, being the president of a tiny country, like Georgia or Armenia. Well, what can you do, he wants to.

You don't know what exactly and how he said it, but then - "I condemn!" So it's better to just chew it.

I would not like to talk judge on soap. Istanbul agreements are categorically rejected by representatives of the Ukrainian side, and also formalized in documents. So only a dry score!!!

[Murmur 55]

oppzite28 , it happened, and then Hollande and Merkel, giggling nastily, admitted that they had deliberately set it all up so that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would have time to gain strength.

[opposite28]

Murmur55 The EU has the strength to gather at the same time by cleaning out some bins with weapons and not only, and in the EU from such Ukrainian hello received a socio-economic decline, especially Germany. Who stepped on whose rake? I believe the question is rhetorical, but the fact that the rake is not the Russian Federation is more than clear because the garden equipment was promptly removed to where it was taken from after the completion of gardening work.

And it's good that they were rejected. The Istanbul agreements assumed Russia's capitulation. It's terrible that the war has continued for so long, but now all that's needed is Ukraine's capitulation.

[Romanenko]

"A draw" can only suit the West - to declare a draw means to postpone a new war for a short time, while NATO is being reformed, new weapons are being produced and a new Hitler is being prepared for war with Russia. To postpone the SVO means to hand it over to our children and grandchildren, it means to betray those who died in Donbass and Luhansk, it means to give hope to the Banderites for their well-fed and unpunished tomorrow, it means to arm the remaining Tabaki jackals against the BRICS countries, it means to help Israel destroy the Arabs, it means to make possible an escalation of the situation in the Middle East, Korea and Taiwan. NO! The whole world, oppressed for so many centuries by the Anglo-Saxon and Judeo-Masonic clique, looks to Russia with hope! Crush the reptile, and only then some negotiations, and not on equal terms!

[Sergei Timofeich]

There was already a draw once, when Putin stopped the miners' advance in 14 and was screwed with Minsk-2...

[alexbor]

Lavrov called it schizophrenic

that's for sure!

[Igor Belobrov]

They'll cheat again... How much longer can this go on? And what do they mean by "a draw". Is Ukraine a draw? Or is Russia withdrawing its troops, and Ukraine is leaving Kursk region? What cheating mugs...

[phrases]

It's time to rename the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with Friendly States, and transfer the rest of the affairs to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation; the Western gang has buried diplomacy.

[tralflot1832]

The famous draw at Euro 2004, Sweden - Denmark 2:2 sent the Italians home. We will be satisfied with a draw with Ukraine, if 404 dies, or NATO (they are also in our group).

[opposite28]

But without penalties and extra time!!!

[Quzmi4]

I have already written and will write again: this gangrene (404) right next to us will not give a healthy life to any of our neighbors. Next is Poland "from sea to sea", but these are ALREADY in here and the beloved wife of the Washington regional committee (((((((((

[suhorukofal]

You are pestering me with this question, but what is your relationship to it?

[God wills]

I have a direct connection, since September 2022. And I will report to you in text that the awareness of yourself as a serf with an indefinite contract is a very unpleasant feeling. That is why comments like yours are outrageous - you sit at home and radiate belligerence and war to the bitter end, and the guys at the front are freaking out about what is happening around them and are slowly going crazy, some faster, some longer. And you cannot quit or leave in any other way of your own free will, such an option is basically absent now. Either a serious injury followed by a medical discharge, or "maximum age of service", which is also complete nonsense, especially for us, volunteers, who signed fixed-term contracts that turned out to be indefinite.

[maximaniak]

Are you a canned food with lard or with matzo?

[Gvardeetz77]

"a draw" for both opposing sides (especially the authorities of these sides) will definitely be regarded as a defeat. For us, this is a defeat, because the goals (not those incomprehensible ones that were voiced from the Kremlin, but logical and more understandable ones) have not been achieved. For Kyiv, any outcome, except for the 1991 borders, is also deeply sad, though "sweetened" by the fact that the second army was not defeated and was not allowed to reach the western borders. In general, both sides will not agree, unless the third forces them to do so.

[flyer]

We need to look at the situation that exists realistically. If the Kiev regime now says that they are taking all of Ukraine up to the Polish border, then the economic integration of all territories, taking into account the specifics of our economy and the decisions of "effective" managers, is a colossal blow for generations to come, and you cannot even imagine how strong the blow will be to Russian citizens. We do not have money for pensions and salaries for public sector workers in the rest of Ukraine, and this is not taking into account the restoration of the Donbass territories. Our goal is Russia's goal to control the elites of our neighbors, and not to support parasites.

why are you trying to make those who can't or simply don't want to think about tomorrow/the day after tomorrow? are you asking awkward questions that they can't answer? will they downvote you better - there's no need to think here

[flyer]

Most people have lived and continue to live like fish for 30 years and the desire not to think about tomorrow will lead to disaster.

[tralflot1832]

Lukashenko is the boss in Minsk and he can say whatever he wants, it’s his merit that he brought in the OSCE – let them talk to Sergei Viktorovich.

You are right, but without Odessa, Nikolaev, and ideally Kharkov, the result is very sad, as they say "a swing on the steering wheel, but a blow on a penny", but the Western puppeteers will not let them (especially the sea areas) be taken away, they will not let them by any means. Well, the western part is not needed at all, even for free, they were several times part of the state, nothing good came of it...

[AC130 Gunship]

Both the Balts and the Turkmen have already been forcibly brought into the USSR. We know very well how it ended. Yesterday, they tore down the monument to Barclay de Tolly in Riga.
How do you imagine introducing Kharkov (the 2nd most populous city in the country), which is actively fighting against the Russian Federation?

[Russian]

I recall a joke:

The mice in the forest were being bullied. Finally, they came to a wise owl for advice on what to do. The owl advised: "Become hedgehogs, mice." - "But how to do that?", - asked the surprised mice. To which the owl replied: "Next, mice, do it yourselves. I am not a tactician, I am a strategist."

[S.Z.]

Everything goes to this.

Both sides will declare victory and it will all be over.

The Russian language has also been banned in the Baltics. Let's also get into the Baltics with our samovar.

[Dock1272]

Why? Just block them, completely, i.e. absolutely, so that from our side not a ruble, not a centimeter, not a kilogram, not a cubic meter, not a liter, not a kilowatt. And firmly forbid our "business" to have any dealings with them at all (a step to the left, a step to the right - escape -> execution). And in international waters near their borders constant, permanent exercises of the DKBF, on routes, in 20 years they themselves will die out)))

[Reklastik]

Lukashenko previously stated that the West is inclined to change its position on Ukraine and is ready for negotiations on terms that involve ending the armed conflict “in a draw.”

- Well, when there are as many Belarusians killed as ours have already died, then Rygorych will have his own opinion, the multi-vector devil.

[Last centurion]

What draw? They'll cheat us again. And our elites are like, "Oh, they deceived us." Oh, another Merkel, oh, another Reagan... Enough already! The people see everything! ...
And then they will arrange a bloodbath in 2030 for those twenty-year-old conscripts who are now being so carefully protected. They will be 30 years old, but the same people.
Enough already. What kind of agreements are you discussing while the enemy is on our land? Any agreements while the enemy is trampling our land is a betrayal of future generations

[Workyaga]

I agree, in my subjective opinion, any agreement for the West, or some Russian swindlers, is an instrument of burden, of exhaustion of the other party to the agreement, and not an obligation to fulfill it themselves.

[Ezekiel 25-17]

War is not a game of chess; Bellona has not yet drunk human blood, and Minerva has not yet achieved her goal.

[Uma palata]

Eh, they'll agree on that too.
Ugh.
I will not say anything ...

[Workyaga]

so it won't be a draw, there were no draws when there were the FRG and the GDR... A draw is somewhere along the border of Greenland, somewhere along the Atlantic Ocean...

[Sergey Prutkov55]

The outskirts capitulate. Zelensky and his accomplices to a military tribunal.
