Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia allegedly never set a goal to seize any Ukrainian territories, but only wanted to protect “Russians.”
This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to Russian media.
“Russia has never set a goal to simply seize territories, whether it be Crimea, Donbas, Novorossiya, but has sought to protect the “Russians,” Lavrov said.
He also said that “if Zelensky is so concerned about the Constitution of Ukraine, then it is worth mentioning the articles that oblige” to supposedly preserve the rights of “Russians.” Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/n3569450

So, if Zelensky again will protect the ‘Russians’ in Ukraine you give Crimea and Donbass back? Thats a step forward!!!!
Instead of diplomacy to speak about the status of Russians in Ukraine you started the biggest war since WW2. STRANGE WAY TO PROTECT THEM WITH 40.000 KILLED IN DONBASS.
He protected all those russian speakers in the Mariupol theatre.
There is no article that refers to the rights of russians. All people and languages are welcome in Ukraine. Perhaps horseface should look at preserving the rights of russians in russia, before opening his filthy mouth.
