Sputnik world – During his visit to Kenya, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov responded to a question from a Sputnik reporter about the African peace initiative for the Ukrainian crisis:
“With regard to the African initiative, as they have stated publicly more than once, Washington and London probably cannot accept anything other than the so-called“ peace formula ”put forward by Zelensky, which they have been demanding in all documents of the Group of Seven, NATO and the European Union. Everyone adheres to it. Let me remind you that this formula means the withdrawal of Russian troops and the withdrawal of Russia from all lands – Crimea, Donbass and other new lands – Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. After that, a court against Russia and against the Russian leadership. After that, pay The so-called reparations. And only after all that, Ukraine will graciously agree to sign a peace treaty, ”Lavrov said.
“Looking at this two or three years ago, Zelensky said that if any of the Ukrainian citizens feel Russian, then for the sake of the future of their children and grandchildren, go and leave for Russia. Given what Mr. Danilov and Mr. Podolyak said, precisely, after they returned from Crimea and the eastern lands of Ukraine, they will destroy everything Russian there, including the physical destruction of Russian citizens. This Western stance and their adherence exclusively to Zelensky’s barbaric and brutal formula means that they are ready to support genocide. There is nothing more to add here.” cable).
