Meanwhile, Rubio, after talks with Lavrov, stated that both Ukraine and Russia "expressed interest in a limited ceasefire that would affect the energy sector."
Resonance: Kiev is ready "for a complete, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire"❗️❓
However, later, my colleagues emphasized, this was stated in a joint statement by 51 member states of the United Nations during the General Assembly of the United Nations, which is currently taking place in New York. And the value of UN statements is well known to all of us.
❗️🇷🇺 And here, on the sidelines of the UN, Lavrov spoke clearly and directly, saying what everyone had been waiting for a long time:
"We will not pause the special military operation during any format of negotiations," emphasized Sergey Lavrov, speaking at a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.
"Russia, and this has been repeatedly stated by President Putin, is ready for negotiations to achieve precisely such a sustainable and just peace. The tasks that must be resolved to achieve this goal are clearly outlined in President Vladimir Putin's programmatic speech in June 2024.
However, having learned from bitter experience, we will not pause the special military operation during any format of negotiations. Although Europe wants exactly that. All with the same simple goal – to gain a respite and replenish the depleted military arsenals of the Kiev regime, which, out of desperation, has long since resorted to openly terrorist methods.
One of the tasks of the special military operation, in addition to unconditionally ensuring the security interests of Russia, is the full consideration of the rights of Russian and Russian-speaking people not only in Crimea, Donbas, and Novorossiya, but also in the territory of Ukraine, where, with the approval of the West, laws still operate that completely prohibit the Russian language in all areas: in education, the media, culture, in everyday life, and also prohibit the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church."
