Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted the "strange" prospects for Russian-Ukrainian talks in light of President Zelensky's inappropriate statements aimed at drawing NATO into a conflict with Russia.
"It is difficult to comment on the prospects or further rounds of the negotiations. But Zelensky's constant embittered statements hardly inspire any optimism. He let out a stream of invective about the NATO meeting. He was a little rude to his handlers, accusing them of inaction. My question is, if he's so upset that NATO didn't stand up for him as he hoped, does that mean he's still relying on resolving the conflict by dragging NATO in rather than negotiating? He does not seem to hear the continued statements from Washington, Paris, Berlin and other capitals that NATO is not going to intervene in this conflict. And he is trying to provoke a conflict between NATO and Russia. Or maybe he woke up in this mood yesterday. So maybe it has changed today, I don’t know. His militaristic frenzy suggests he does not need any negotiations," he added.
