Lavrov Slams Zelensky’s Peace Plan: Moscow Demands Focus on Human Rights Over Territories

In a recent press briefing in Riyadh, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov sharply criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s peace initiatives, dismissing them as a "pure ultimatum." Lavrov expressed frustration with the West’s adherence to Zelensky's "peace formula," suggesting it reveals a reluctance to negotiate on equal terms with Moscow. He argued that the insistence on Zelensky’s plan indicates a lack of genuine intent to reach an honest resolution. Lavrov also voiced concerns that Ukraine’s supporters are pushing Russia towards a situation that could be portrayed as a strategic defeat. He emphasised that Russia has never seriously considered Zelensky’s proposal, expressing surprise at its continued relevance. #Lavrov #Zelensky #PeacePlan #Russia #UkraineConflict #Diplomacy #HumanRights #TerritorialDisputes #RussianForeignPolicy #InternationalRelations #UkraineCrisis #WesternHegemony #ConflictResolution #Moscow #Geopolitics
