Answering the question whether it makes sense to propose a new version of agreements with Kyiv (conditional "Minsk-3") against the background of the current behavior of Western partners, the minister pointed to the inexpediency of working in the existing forms.

“It makes no sense in the forms in which they have been trying to negotiate for the last eight years.

First, the agreement that was broken by the Maidan in February 2014, then the Minsk agreements, ”the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry quotes him as saying.

Earlier, Lavrov said it was unlikely that the Anglo-Saxons would allow Ukraine to return to the diplomatic process.
