Diplomatic summit in Minsk. Lavrov on the “draw” in the war with Ukraine
During the speech, the head of Russian diplomacy also referred to the issue of a special military operation (a propaganda term for the war in Ukraine – editor). Sergei Lavrov suggested that the West should be the issue forcing the authorities in Kiev to enter into peace negotiations.
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry also commented on Alexander Lukashenko's proposal he mentioned a possible “draw” in the war. In this case, we are talking about a ceasefire and a cessation of the conflict on the borders currently occupied by the army.
– There's no point in guessing. A draw is a concept that can be applied to a variety of situations. It seems to me that a draw does not mean the need to reliably protect the interests of each side, including on the scale of the entire continent, he explained.
