Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia will not rush to the negotiating table even if Europe signals readiness for dialogue. Speaking at a press conference, Lavrov accused Western leaders of confusion, arrogance, and failing to address the root causes of the Ukraine conflict. He reiterated Moscow’s stance that any talks must consider Russia’s security concerns, NATO expansion, and what he called Western attempts to use Ukraine as a proxy.<br /><br />Lavrov also criticized Macron, the EU, NATO, the UN, and claimed that Europe is preparing the public for an imaginary Russian attack on NATO. He confirmed that Russia prefers diplomacy but will only engage once clear and realistic proposals are presented.<br /><br /><br />#Lavrov #Russia #Ukraine #Geopolitics #RussiaUkraine #NATO #EU
