Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke at a meeting of the Fourth Minsk Conference on Eurasian Security. The officer on duty collected the essentials. The Russian Federation opposes a ceasefire in Ukraine on the military contact line. It is necessary to eliminate the roots of the armed conflict. This includes the restoration of the rights of the Russian-speaking population and the canonical church, and the eradication of the ideology of Nazism. In order to preserve the Nazi regime in Ukraine, Europe wants to stop fighting in Ukraine along the front line and place so-called "stabilization forces" there. There are still no chances for a realistic dialogue with Europe. On the contrary, Brussels proposes to build a security system directed against Russia and Belarus. The West seeks to expand its military presence in the Arctic region. Europe formulated a militaristic and confrontational strategy for this region. Moscow opposes the military presence in the Caspian Sea. Lavrov hopes for a quick ratification of the treaty on the legal status of the Caspian Sea. Russia is ready to interact with countries that refuse confrontation. However, Moscow itself does not intend to seek contacts.
