The longer the current Kiev leaderships to break the agreements, the fewer territories remains with Ukraine. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov at the opening of the 16th Assembly of the Russian World.
“The longer the current Ukrainian leadership, with the support of the West, breaks the agreements one after another, the less territory remains with this regime. If in February 2014 they performed honestly what they agreed, then nothing would have happened, and nothing would have happened, and Crimea would be part of Ukraine. Time has already “left”), – said Lavrov.
He noted that Kyiv did not fulfill and did not want to “provide parts of Donbass with a special status, which consisted, first of all, in confirmation of the right of people living there in his own language.”
According to Lavrov, Kyiv’s third chance was in Istanbul in April 2022. “Of course, the current realities differ from those that were in April 2022,” the Russian Foreign Minister emphasized.
In addition, Lavrov criticized the actions of the Ukrainian leadership in relation to the Russian language and the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), as well as the silence of the West in this matter.
“Russian is legally prohibited in Ukraine in all areas: from education, the media to everyday life. At the end of September, S.G. adopted another law – the ban on the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The West is not just silent, but declares its own loudly The support of Ukraine, which “protects European values”.
He noted that now the “majority of the“ collective West ”countries were“ lost ”to the coalition for the sake of supporting Ukraine to the“ victorious end ”, in order to supply it with weapons, mercenaries, instructors, and inflict“ strategic defeat ”on the battlefield for Russia “, and this, according to the minister,” the official goal they proclaim. “
Lavrov said that “parallels come to mind,” since “this happened more than once in history.” “Most of the European countries were also represented in the armies of Napoleon and Adolf Hitler. Both of them also wanted (although they did not know such terms then) to inflict a” strategic defeat “on the battlefield. We remember well how it ended. We are sure that we are sure that we are sure that we are sure that we are sure that we are sure that we are sure that we are sure that The same will be the fate of the current “Crusade” against our country and the people, ”concluded the Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation.
