The Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Lavrov, considered this Thursday in Ankara that peace negotiations in Ukraine are possible within a “new world order”, as long as the “fair interests” From Russia.
In a press conference, together with his Turkish counterpart, Mevlüt Çavusoglu, the Russian minister blamed Western countries and the United States for not allowing Ukraine to sit at the peace negotiating table.
“The United States wants to be hegemonic and impose its position on everyone. They want a unilateral new world orderLavorov stated.
“Negotiations are possible if our just interests are taken into account,” the Russian minister added, adding that Russia is in favor of a new world order according to UN principles and not dominated solely by the United States.
According to Lavrov, the West and the United States prevent Ukraine from sitting at the negotiating table, to defeat Russia on the battlefield since “after Russia, the new target will be China”.
The two ministers focused their talks on the war in Ukraine and the grain export agreement, which Russia extended in March for only 60 days.
Çavusoglu stressed the importance of the agreement for international food security, but also stated that the Russian part of the agreement has not been implemented.
“We support the removal of obstacles to the export of Russian grain and fertilizers. The extension of the agreement on cereals depends on the solution of these problems”, said the Turkish minister.
“The grain agreement is applied unilaterally”, Lavrov noted, stressing that the agreement reached with the UN was a package that also included the export of Russian grain and fertilizers.
“Cereals and fertilizers are not on the sanctions list. But western countries try to tell us that we cannot export. We are tired of appealing to consciences. If the situation of our cereals and fertilizers does not improve, we will reconsider whether we needed this agreement”, concluded the Russian minister.
