Developments in Ukraine | Russia does not negotiate with anyone about its territory
According to Tasnim International News Agency, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emphasized that the Moscow authorities will not negotiate with anyone about their territories. In an interview with “Rashatudi” TV channel last night, he said: “We do not discuss our land with anyone. And we will not negotiate on the territory of the Russian Federation. “At the moment, we are not having any talks about the possibility of peace talks.”
Referring to Moscow's stance and Russian President Vladimir Putin's words in mid-June, Lavrov emphasized: “We are ready to resolve the situation based on the facts on the ground.” “The facts on the ground and the facts recorded in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which clearly state that in addition to the Crimean Peninsula, four other new territories are part of the composition of the Russian Federation.” He added that in the framework of these conditions, there will be no talk of Ukraine joining NATO.
Lavrov added that the conflict can be resolved only on the basis of the facts contained in the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
The head of the Russian diplomatic service also noted that it is difficult to judge the West's purpose of military support for the attack of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region, because they have “complex minds”. In response to another question, Sergey Lavrov said: “It is very difficult for me to say what purpose lies in this situation. Our western colleagues have complex minds. “They sometimes interpret and justify everything in a different way.”
The Russian foreign minister emphasized that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has said that an attack on Russian territory is necessary for further exchanges, often utters “Freudian” phrases. He added: “That's why he captures and wants to occupy square kilometers of land. This way of thinking is very naive and childish.
