As the Russian Foreign Minister recalled, Russia wants no threats to our security to come from the territory of UkraineUN, April 25.
/tass/. The statements made in the West about the possible start of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine only after Kiev's counteroffensive are schizophrenia. This was stated on Tuesday by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference following a visit to New York as part of Russia's presidency of the UN Security Council.
"Now this funny theory has appeared: let us (Western countries - approx. TASS) now we will provide Ukraine with a successful counteroffensive, and then we will ask Ukraine, [President Vladimir] Zelensky to start negotiations. But this is some kind of schizophrenic logic. We want no threats to our security to come from the territory of Ukraine, and these threats have been accumulating there for many, many years, especially after the coup in February 2014," Lavrov said.
