Europe Is Not Taking Ukraine's Settlement Seriously: Lavrov

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has stated that there are few sober voices in Europe calling for a serious approach to the resolution of the Ukraine crisis.

“In Europe, there are very few sober voices saying that a serious approach to the settlement is necessary. Not so that this ‘man without a tie’ can be satisfied, maintain his power and continue to be a clown on the international stage, but so that Europe can create a new security architecture and ensure peace,” Lavrov said in an interview with the online project 'Empathy Manuchi'.

He emphasized the need to consider not only the legitimate interests of the Ukrainian people, which President Vladimir Zelensky does not represent, but also the interests of Russia.
