Question<\/strong>:\u00a0The first question, of course, concerns Ukraine. It is already clear that Ukraine’s “counteroffensive” has failed. In the Western press, theses are increasingly being heard that negotiations are possible this fall. Are there any prerequisites for this?<\/p>\n

S.V. Lavrov<\/strong>:\u00a0We don’t see them. There were a lot of comments on this by the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, and yours truly, and the Press Secretary of the President of Russia, Dmitry Peskov. The West, when it starts launching such provocative rumors, apparently checks us for our readiness to meet its conditions. And they don’t hide them much. To take a pause for several months and no agreements, except for a temporary ceasefire, and in the time gained to pump Ukraine with new weapons in addition to what has already been delivered and what is being systematically destroyed by our armed forces. The logic is the same as in the case of the Minsk agreements.<\/p>\n

They also admitted that no one was going to fulfill the Minsk agreements: neither Germany, nor France, nor even Ukraine. In plain text, both former German Chancellor A. Merkel and former French President F.Hollande and former President of Ukraine P.A. Poroshenko stated back in 2022 that these agreements were needed only to gain time in order to replenish the military arsenals of the Ukrainian regime against the Russian Federation. If they had fulfilled the Minsk agreements, the territorial integrity of Ukraine would have been secured, because that was their essence. Territorial integrity is restored by granting a special status to the Donbass, Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. The co-authors of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Minsk agreements openly admitted that they had misled him and were not going to fulfill them at all, and that it was they who destroyed the territorial integrity of Ukraine, which they are constantly taking care of now.<\/p>\n

We see these plans. We were ready not only during the preparation of the Minsk agreements for settlement, but also in April 2022, when Ukraine proposed the option of ending hostilities and resolving the situation on the basis of providing mutual reliable security guarantees. But he was also recalled at the request of Washington and London. This is now well known. Therefore, we should not be blamed for the lack of goodwill. This is what Russian President Vladimir Putin constantly says. In April 2022, when we were ready to sign the agreements, the Ukrainians assured that they would also put their signatures. As a gesture of goodwill, we have stopped fighting and even carried out a certain redeployment of our armed forces. Those who disrupted this agreement took advantage of this.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin has also mentioned this now. We are ready to negotiate and consider any serious proposals, but there can be no question of any ceasefire for the period of negotiations. Because we have already been deceived on this once.<\/p>\n

Speaking of how all this can end. We do not see any serious proposal from the West. Yes, there were visits to us by an African delegation that advocated a peaceful settlement, as well as proposals from China, Brazil and a number of other countries, including the Arab League. All of them were dictated by a sincere desire to help negotiate, and on the basis of taking into account the root causes in the current situation, eliminating them and ensuring security for all parties on equal terms.<\/p>\n

Now the West is “throwing away” the opportunity to start negotiations. At the same time, in parallel, loudly and categorically declares that the only basis for negotiations is the “formula of peace of V.A. Zelensky”. It’s not even worth discussing. This is a pure ultimatum. No one in their right mind can promote such an ultimatum as an uncontested basis for negotiations. Unless he seeks to disrupt and prevent these negotiations. That’s the situation.<\/p>\n

Our position remains in force. We are ready to negotiate, but taking into account the realities that have developed now “on the ground” and our position, which is well known to everyone. Russian Russians are also taking into account our interests, the interests of our security and the prevention of the creation of a hostile Nazi regime on the borders of Russia, which openly declared the goal of exterminating all Russians on the lands that have been mastered, settled and settled by Russian people for centuries in Crimea and Novorossiya. That’s the crux of the problem right now. We don’t see any serious progress on the western side. The Kiev regime continues to act and behave as if it is “ordering music”, while the whole West repeats in chorus “not a word about Ukraine without Ukraine” and “the conditions for the start of negotiations will be determined by V.A. Zelensky.”<\/p>\n

In general, the circle has closed. This is an absolutely dead-end position. It either does not reflect the presence of common sense in the minds of those who are leading this war against Russia, or reflects their irreparable confidence that they will “defeat” Russia. Both do the West, Western diplomats and thinkers no honor.<\/p>\n

Question<\/strong>:\u00a0I can’t help but ask a question on a hot topic \u2013 this is Armenia. Do you think it could happen that Armenia will lose Russia?<\/p>\n

S.V. Lavrov<\/strong>:\u00a0There are many people there who want to lose Russia and find new friends.<\/p>\n

Historically, geographically, and geopolitically, it is impossible to lose Russia in the sense of completely ignoring its interests in Transcaucasia. But some leaders in Yerevan have such hopes. They talk about it directly.<\/p>\n

A similar thought slipped through in the recent speech of Prime Minister N.V. Pashinyan, who spoke about the need to compensate for the “failed” alliances that Armenia counted on in terms of ensuring its security, and expand the circle of partners who will ensure this security.<\/p>\n

If they rely on the United States (this directly follows from the statements of many representatives of the Armenian leadership), then it would probably be good for them to see the recent history of how the United States treated those whom they sought to take under their wing, promoting their geopolitical interests in areas of the world far from the American shores. The fate of all these people is very unenviable.<\/p>\n

Question<\/strong>:\u00a0I would like to ask a question about Georgia. As you know, direct flights between our countries have recently been restored. A decree on visa-free regime for Georgian citizens has also been signed. Do you see it possible to restore diplomatic relations in some near future?<\/p>\n

S.V. Lavrov<\/strong>:\u00a0We did not break off diplomatic relations. This was the initiative of the regime of M.N. Saakashvili, who, with the encouragement of the United States, “raised his hand” against his own citizens and Ossetians (whom he considered his citizens), as well as peacekeepers. When he received a decent response, he began to “compensate” for his complete political, military failure with anti-Russian actions.<\/p>\n

We have never treated the Georgian people negatively. We really love the Georgian people, as do all the peoples of Transcaucasia. Georgians occupy a special place in the history of Russia, the Soviet Union and our art, culture, and science.<\/p>\n

We have seen that the current government in Tbilisi is interested in normalizing relations, at least in the interests of ordinary citizens. People want to communicate with each other, visit each other, visit both countries as tourists and conduct business, which traditionally connected our economic systems.<\/p>\n

We agreed with the Government of I.T.Garibashvili on the resumption of flights and canceled the visa regime for Georgian citizens. Visa-free regime for Russians has existed for a long time. Many of our citizens have used it. The introduction of a visa-free regime now on the basis of reciprocity for both Georgian citizens and the establishment of air communication makes our relations much more convenient and comfortable. The number of flights is expanding and the geography of direct flights is also expanding. Trade turnover is growing. Many traditional Georgian export goods are popular with us: wine, “Borjomi” and much more.<\/p>\n

Question<\/strong>:\u00a0Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Russia’s readiness to host the BRICS Games in the summer of 2024. I wanted to clarify: is Russia ready to accept athletes only from the BRICS countries (as we know, the BRICS is expanding) or from those countries that are just ready to join the association? Can these games become some kind of alternative to the Olympics in the future?<\/p>\n

Sergey Lavrov<\/strong>: No. Just as the BRICS as an interstate association is being strengthened and expanded (and will continue to expand) not against anyone, but solely in the interests of the participating countries, in the same way, the BRICS Sports Games are conceived not against the Olympic movement, but as an addition to it.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this movement, as a result of the position taken by the President of the International Olympic Committee, T. Bach, turns into an instrument of Western policy. This is quite obvious. Just as at one time the World Anti-Doping Agency was turned into such a tool and for many years tried to “undermine” competitors from our country at various international venues, grossly abusing anti-doping rules, repeatedly and groundlessly accusing our great athletes. In the same way, the International Olympic Committee is now using the situation around Ukraine to blatantly and directly violate\u00a0The Olympic Charter. At the same time, by suspending most of our athletes from competitions, it makes exceptions for certain sports, age groups in a neutral status, without a flag and without an anthem, as some kind of “huge positive step”.<\/p>\n

T. Bach has repeatedly stated that the Olympic Charter should be respected. But not to the same extent. The meaning of his statements is that the IOC cannot ignore what is happening in Ukraine. For many years I passed by everything that the West did. Moreover, he “created” tens of thousands of miles from his borders and got away with it all. Russia has been warning the entire world community for many years that NATO is leading the case to a big war, directly creating military threats on the borders of the Russian Federation, encouraging a regime openly prepared by Washington to contain Russia, to attack our country. Then the Olympic Committee decided to show its incomprehensible integrity contrary to its duties in accordance with the Olympic Charter. At the same time, Mr. T. Bach recently spoke on the topic of the Olympic Charter and the need to avoid its politicization. Under this “sauce”, he said that the IOC would do everything possible to encourage the involvement of transgender people in the Olympic Games. That is, they don’t see any politics in this sense? God is their judge.<\/p>\n

Returning to the BRICS games. They are scheduled for June 2024 in Kazan. All these competitions are open to athletes from any country, even from “unfriendly” countries. We don’t have unfriendly athletes, citizens, or even countries. There are unfriendly governments that have come to power for some time in states whose peoples and citizens have always had good and kind ties with us. The Games will be open to all athletes in full compliance with the principles of the Olympic Charter. Let the International Olympic Committee “wind it up” and draw conclusions.<\/p>\n
