Key statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov after a joint ministerial meeting on the sidelines of the Collective Security Treaty Organization:
Europe is again trying to create a breathing space for the Ukrainian army to restore its military potential.
Russia will not agree to another ceasefire in Ukraine without a clear understanding of what will happen next.
Kyiv attacks targets not only on Russian territory, but also in other countries with the help of the West.
The idea of formulating clear parameters for a future security architecture and only then moving on to solving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict makes perfect sense.
The Russian side hopes that there will be no further US military actions against Iran.
