Lavrov: Russia has seen no guarantees

In a recent interview, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed Russia's position regarding Ukraine. He stated, "Russia not only did not approve, but has never even seen the security guarantees that Kyiv talks about." In response to these remarks, he emphasized that Russian officials had not seen sufficient security guarantees in Ukraine.

"If the Ukrainian people had known back in 2019 how much blood would be shed in the national conflict, they would have had a different outlook," Lavrov added, calling for greater diplomatic prudence.

It should be noted in our report that Russia's stated position has been supported through several diplomatic channels, while Ukrainian sources have genuinely responded to both political and economic signals.

The situation continues to evolve, and the international community maintains its attention on relations between the two countries.

Context

In 2019, Russia and Ukraine were already holding negotiations on security amid tensions in the eastern part of the country.
