Lavrov stated the need for careful preparation of meetings at the highest level.

High-level meetings, such as joint negotiations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on the settlement of the conflict, should be carefully prepared at the previous stages. This was announced on August 20 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"When it comes to high—level meetings, it is necessary to prepare them very carefully at all previous stages so that the summits do not lead to a deterioration of the situation, but really put an end to those negotiations," he said during a joint press conference with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi.
