The speaker of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov the day before was noted for a number of high-profile statements regarding Ukraine, the “grain” agreement and sanctions against the aggressor. Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak called Lavrov's theses "
“Classic Russian schizophrenia: in the morning you declare that Moscow is striving for negotiations, and in the evening you say that your goal is to “get rid of the anti-people Kyiv regime”. And this is said by a subject representing a barbarian country that, for no reason, invaded foreign territory and kills Ukrainians as brutally as possible,” Podolyak wrote on Telegram..
The adviser to the head of the OPU also recalled that, unlike in Russia, in Ukraine the authorities are elected in fair, competitive and democratic elections..
“When deciding to overthrow the “anti-historical regimes”, it is important not to accidentally end up in the unconditional dustbin of history. Especially if civilization is already extremely dismissive of the subjects who have committed so many documented serious war crimes,” he concluded..
Today Lavrov held a meeting with representatives of the member countries of the Arab League. Where were the resonant statements made?.
On the choice of Ukraine.
The speaker of the Russian Foreign Ministry called Ukraine's desire for EU membership "
“Attempts by the Kyiv regime to make Ukrainians eternal enemies of Russians are futile. Russia will help Ukraine get rid of post-Maidan authorities. " Russia will help Ukrainians get rid of the anti-people regime,” Lavrov said.
About sanctions.
Lavrov also said that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres allegedly should personally contribute to the lifting of sanctions against the aggressor.. Although Russia itself “generally does not ask for sanctions to be lifted”.
“After signing the agreements in Istanbul at the initiative of the UN Secretary General, he agreed to seek the removal of these illegitimate restrictions. Let's hope he succeeds,"
It should be noted that the sanctions against the Russian Federation do not provide for a ban on the trade of the aggressor with other countries in agricultural products and fertilizers.. The EU remains staunchly committed to world food security.
“They stated that no sanctions were imposed on food. But the sanctions affected companies working with food. In our country, all payments for food supplies are made through the Russian Agricultural Bank, it was one of the first to be included in the list of sanctions,” Lavrov said indignantly..
On the export of Ukrainian grain.
Lavrov could not get around the topic of the export of Ukrainian grain, which was under threat after the Russians' missile attack on Odessa.
The Russian diplomat expressed his vision of how this procedure should go. It is fundamentally different from the content of the agreement.
“It will be guaranteed that the Ukrainians will clear their territorial waters and allow ships to leave from there.. And during their journey, Russia and Turkey will ensure their security with their naval forces..
Well, when the ships go in the direction of Ukrainian ports to pick up new consignments of food there, a check will be ensured that will ensure that no one will bring weapons there on the way to Ukrainian ports,” the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman said..
According to him, now about 70 ships remain in Ukrainian ports, which were supposed to take out food..
