«Ukrainian Side Constantly Invents Excuses to Delay Meetings» - Lavrov

The Russian side has not yet received information from Ukraine regarding the timing of the third round of negotiations. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a press conference, as reported by Armenpress.

“We have not yet received new timelines. As it was known to our Ukrainian counterparts, we were ready to hold the third round as early as last night,” Lavrov said.

He announced that the situation regarding the prospects for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine seems strange, as the Ukrainian side constantly seeks reasons to delay the next meeting. “It seems that everyone is interested in reaching an agreement on the situation as quickly as possible. However, on the other hand, it seems that the most interested party—the Ukrainian side—is constantly inventing excuses to postpone the next meeting,” the Foreign Minister stated.
