"Unprecedented and provocative," the Foreign Ministry in Moscow complained to Warsaw.

Lavrov appears before the media
The foreign ministers of the OSCE member states are meeting on Thursday (December 1) in Lodz, Poland - Sergey Lavrov will hold a press conference in Moscow from 9 a.m.
The topic: "Security in Europe", according to the official announcement.

From the Western point of view, this is exactly what endangers security in Europe.
Ex-US general on Ukraine war: End only through negotiated settlement
Meanwhile, former US four-star general and former CIA boss David Petraeus is certain that there will be no military victor in the conflict.
The war will end with a negotiated solution, he told the
Tagesspiegel
on November 30 - although neither Putin nor his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy are willing to talk at the moment.
According to Petraeus, Putin "still believes that Russia can suffer longer than the Ukrainians, Europeans and Americans".
Petraeus also assumes that Putin will be taught better.
But that will take time.
