After the accusations of cruelty to Chechens and Buryats. 'If there are proposals from the West on security we will listen', says the Russian foreign minister. 'From Tajani statements but not concrete proposals' (ANSA)


Pope Francis says he wants to mediate on Ukraine but recently "has made un-Christian statements" on the cruelties committed in particular by members of two nationalities of Russia, namely the Chechens and the Buryats.

This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference.

"The Vatican has said that this will not happen again and that there was probably a misunderstanding, but this does not help to increase the authority of the papal state," added Lavrov.

Cooperation with the West on European security cannot be resumed in the foreseeable future.

But "if and when the West understands that it is better to coexist on the basis of agreed foundations, we will listen to what they have to offer".

This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference.

To resume diplomatic dialogue with the European Union, Russia must understand "when sensible people will appear in European diplomacy".

Lavrov cited a statement by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell that "the conflict must end with Ukraine's victory on the battlefield".

"This speaks volumes about European diplomacy," added the Russian foreign minister.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani "is making statements relating to ideas aimed at seeking a solution" in Ukraine, "but I have not heard any concrete proposals".
