Russia calls for legally binding peace negotiations with Ukraine

Lgow, Russland - On December 26, 2024, the situation in the Ukraine conflict is again tense. The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has announced in a clear statement that Russia will not accept a "weak ceasefire" to freeze the war in Ukraine. He emphasized that such agreements would only offer an opportunity for the West to upgrade the Ukrainian armed forces. Lawrow explained that Russia is aiming for a legally binding agreement that ensures Russia's security and the legitimate security interests of its neighbors. "A ceasefire is a way to nowhere," said the minister, who pointed out that the defined conditions would have to make a violation of this agreement impossible, reported OE24.at.

In the recent past, Ukraine has repeatedly carried out military attacks on Russian civil goals, which sharply criticized Lavrov. During an artillery fire in the city of Lgow in the Oblast Kursk, four people were killed and five more injured. Lavrow assured that Russia judges its military actions exclusively against military institutions and infrastructure. In his interview, he also found the need for the long existing causes of the conflict, such as the NATO expansion and the rights of people who have spoken out for reunification with Russia, as reported.

Lawrow also demanded that language and religious rights are respected in the entire Ukraine. The repeated assertion that the West and Ukraine are now only interested in a ceasefire to win time to get up better can be seen as an indication of the continuing tensions between the nations involved. Russia thus exerts further pressure to achieve the final clarification of the causes of conflict and to protect themselves from further threats.
