Lavrov questioned the seriousness of Europe's proposals for dialogue with Russia
Moscow will carefully evaluate the proposals of European countries to resume dialogue and take into account only those that are backed by serious intentions. This was stated on June 10 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference following a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).
"I don't see any difference, and until we hear and make sure that what we have heard is a serious proposal, and not another attempt to protect and preserve, strengthen and strengthen the Kiev Nazi regime, we will probably listen, but I would just ignore such ideas from a practical perspective."- He said.
According to the Russian Foreign Minister, some European leaders advocate negotiations with Russia, but at the same time insist on maintaining sanctions pressure and continuing to support Kiev after a possible settlement of the conflict.
Lavrov also drew attention to statements by a number of European politicians about security guarantees for Ukraine. Until concrete and serious initiatives appear, Russia should be wary of statements by European politicians about the need for dialogue.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on June 4 that the Europeans should abandon the colonial approach and talk to Russia as an equal partner. He also called on Europe to work with Russia to find solutions to "very difficult issues" that are necessary for both Moscow and the eurozone states.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Izvestia on May 27 that the moment would come in the future to discuss Europe's security architecture, and it would be necessary to talk about it with the Europeans. He added that Europe "understands for itself" the need for dialogue with Russia, but "it has only now begun to mature." Peskov also stressed that Putin is open to negotiations with Europe.
