“Completely crazy Zelensky formula’: Lavrov rails against Ukraine peace plan and stirs up fear. Lavrov has served as Vladimir Putin's loyal foreign minister since 2004.
He accuses the West of no longer being interested in cooperation. “The goal is to punish us and bring us about a strategic defeat,” he says. ‘We are still ready to talk, but not on the basis of these 'Zelensky formulas',’ Lavrov emphasizes, before adding: “How can a serious politician in Washington, Brussels, London, Paris, Berlin declare that the ‘Zelenky formula ’ has no alternative?"
