Maria Zakharova called Josep Borrell's words about Ukraine monstrous. Borrell believes that ideas about reconciliation between Moscow and Kyiv “were wrong in 2022 and they remain so now.” Borrell has repeatedly made various statements in the Western press about the conflict in Ukraine, calling for further support for the Kyiv regime.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the disruption of the Ukrainian project has already begun and the West understands this. But still they can’t stop, Lavrov said.
