Lavrov said the failure of the European plan in Ukraine

Europe has "failed by all accounts" in its actions on Ukraine since 2014. This was announced on November 25 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"Our European colleagues loudly declare that nothing can be solved without Europe, but it has failed in all respects, starting in 2014," You guys already had chances. You did not use them, but simply failed," he said at a press conference of the foreign ministers of the Russian Federation and Belarus.

According to Lavrov, European allies dissuaded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from signing the agreements in Istanbul, which the Ukrainian delegation itself proposed in April 2022.

Plan or gone: Kiev is ready to disrupt negotiations on the settlement of the conflict

Why did the European Union propose another "peaceful" project and what provocations can we expect from Ukraine?

The Bild newspaper reported on November 22 that the member states of the European Union (EU) expressed a desire to amend at least four points of the peace plan of US President Donald Trump for a settlement in Ukraine. It was noted that they did not like the provisions written there on the issue of territories, as well as on frozen assets of the Russian Federation.

The Washington Post reported on November 23 that European leaders had developed an alternative proposal for a peaceful settlement in Ukraine. As explained in the publication, it provides for the waiver of restrictions for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the postponement of the resolution of territorial issues for the period after the ceasefire.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on the same day that it was impossible to discuss the security architecture without the EU's participation, and the association's participation might be required at some stage of the Ukrainian settlement.
