Lavrov called on the West to achieve the repeal of Ukrainian laws violating the UN Charter

The simplest step towards resolving the conflict in Ukraine would be for the West to demand that Kiev repeal laws that violate the Charter of the United Nations (UN). This was announced on May 23 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"The simplest and absolutely infallible thing is to demand the repeal of laws that directly violate the UN Charter, not to mention numerous conventions on the protection of the rights of national minorities," Lavrov said.

He added that such a demand could be the first real step for those Western countries that are "fussing" in an attempt to find a settlement.

The opposite situation: a new round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine may take place again in Istanbul

At the same time, Moscow and Washington are discussing a meeting between the two presidents on how the dialogue on conflict resolution will develop.

On May 19, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine depends on a large number of nuances. According to him, Russia is ready for this work.
