Lavrov: options for negotiations on a settlement in Ukraine are not yet visible. He explained that Russia is ready to move to a political and diplomatic resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.
Russia’s first deputy permanent representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, noted that neither side is currently ready to have a serious conversation with Moscow on the situation around Ukraine. The Kremlin reported that European politicians are creating the image of Russia as an enemy in order to justify increasing spending on supporting Ukraine.
