Europe is trying to join the talks on Ukraine at the last minute, claims Lavrov.
The Europeans understand that the train is leaving and they "want to jump on the step of the last car", as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated in a conversation with "Vesti" channel reporter Zarovin, referring to the European Union's desire to participate in the negotiations regarding Ukraine.
Lavrov also noted that Ursula von der Leyen's reflections on the need for a ceasefire in order to hold negotiations on Ukraine are completely pointless, and that everyone understands this.
