Russian Foreign Minister Serghei Lavrov excludes talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
"on bizarre peace initiatives for the resolution of the conflict", because "it is the West, and not Ukraine" that decides these possible negotiations, which in any case "do not make sense" because the West is using Ukraine to achieve "total dominance".
In a press conference, the content of which was released by Tass
, Lavrov said that the United States and its allies want to implement "a final solution" against Russia "like Hitler for the Jews."
The US has not proclaimed "a partial mobilization" (like Russia), he explained, but a "total mobilization of the entire West" to aim for "domination" of the world.
The first target is Russia, he added, "and then China will come, this is no joke".
And for this reason relations between Russia and the USA "will no longer be what they once were"
.
"Things will never be the same again. We warned a long time ago saying, well guys, there will never be a situation where you lie to us,
As for a possible association of Finland and Sweden with NATO, underlined the head of Moscow's diplomacy, if it were to happen "Russia will take military-technical measures on its side of the border".
Lavrov also argued that
Russia hopes Europe
realizes the impossibility of "always lying," including on the issue of NATO expansion eastward
.
“I cited the example of the first Ukrainian Maidan in 2004, when official Europe said that Ukraine would have to choose whether to be with Europe or with us. This was three years before the Munich speech. Even then we hoped that reason prevailed and that Europe understood that it is impossible to lie all the time, it is impossible, for example, to constantly move NATO eastward despite the promises made".
