Lavrov menar att dom fredsförslag som lagts fram är döda på förhand. Dom verkar inte ens se grundproblematiken i konflikten, menar han.
"According to Lavrov, the root of the conflict in Ukraine was a crackdown on the rights of Russian-speaking residents by the Kiev regime following the coup in 2014.
"The Russian language is currently banned by law in all life spheres. In education, in the media, in art, culture and even in everyday life. And in addition to these laws, a law on essentially shutting down the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has just been adopted and signed by Zelensky," the minister said.
He said he told his counterparts from friendly countries the key problem was that "people were declared terrorists just because they did not accept the coup and refused to obey the putschists" who announced a policy for the annihilation of all things Russian and the expulsion of Russians.
According to the minister, Russian is discussing this issue with China, among other countries.
"Without a look at the root of this problem, nothing will work. And in this regard, of course, we have a very positive attitude to the well-known initiative of [Chinese] President Xi Jinping, the initiative on global security, which states that consideration of any conflict should be started from the root causes that were at the beginning of this or that conflict situation. This fully applies to the Ukrainian crisis. Only by understanding the root causes one can eliminate them for sure," the minister said."
