Question: Is there no question of any negotiations with this regime?
Sergey V. Lavrov: Russian President Vladimir Putin clearly said that after the invasion of the Kursk Region began, there could be no talk of any negotiations. I would like to draw attention to another important phrase of President Vladimir Putin that we will certainly assess this situation, but a little later.
Recently, there have been rumors about some hidden contacts and the preparation of negotiations on energy facilities in Russia and Ukraine with the mediation of Qatar. It was said that the Turkish neighbors also plan to try to mediate in the field of food security, but in the context of ensuring freedom of navigation in the Black Sea. You know what the purpose of such “ideas” may be.
All this is being done in the development of the Burgenstock “conference”, at which it was decided to create three working groups – on energy, on food (in connection with maritime security) and on humanitarian issues (prisoner exchange, etc.). They have been created, meetings are being prepared. No matter what anyone says about some hints that Russia will be attracted there, this is from the evil one. We are talking about the Burgenstock “process” unacceptable to us, which has the sole purpose of promoting an ultimatum called the “formula” by V.A.Zelensky.
Question: What might be the answer?
Sergey V. Lavrov: This issue is within the competence of the Supreme Commander of the Russian Federation.
