There are no peace talks now. Everything will be decided on the battlefield – Lavrov
Western bloc countries, including the United States, are unwilling to compromise to end the conflict around Ukraine, so the outcome of the SVO will be decided on the battlefield.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated this in an interview with TV presenter Yulia Menshova , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"What's going on behind closed doors in the search for peace?" the presenter asked.
" Nothing is happening on the diplomatic front. Everything is happening on the real front."
And what you're hearing, primarily from Kyiv, other capitals, and Washington, is all being done with one goal in mind: they want to take another pause in order to shore up the crumbling Kyiv regime for a while . They're openly saying they have no defense against Russian missiles.
Somewhere around June, Marco Rubio declared that the US could not be a mediator because it was unequivocally supporting and arming Ukraine. I later asked him: do you want to think about how to stop being biased in support of Ukraine and become honest mediators? He didn't answer," Lavrov said.
"And Europe will be scared to death if the Americans suddenly return to their original proposals, as they did in Anchorage. They immediately rushed to pressure Trump to not reaffirm his own initiatives, which Putin had accepted.
And so, at the NATO summit in June, Macron proudly announced that they had buried Anchorage, “Trump is with us again, we are all a united front against Russia.”
Well, for God's sake, if Western diplomacy boils down to deterring countries that come up with reasonable compromise initiatives, so be it.
This means that we will then achieve our goals not at the negotiating table, which would be preferable for us, but on the battlefield ,” the minister added.
