“The expectations are realistic, I am convinced that with our perseverance, patience, determination, we will defend noble goals, goals that are of vital importance for our people, for our country,” said the Foreign Minister. He stressed that Russia does not seek to escalate the conflict, but to ensure the fulfillment of the objectives of the special military operation.
According to him, Russia will consistently achieve this, always remaining ready for equal dialogue and agreements that guarantee truly equal and indivisible security in Europe. “This implies taking Russia’s interests into account,” Lavrov added.
