The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky lies when he announces that he is ready to discuss the neutral status of the country. The statement came from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a press conference with Foreign Minister of the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) Vladislav Deinego and First Deputy Foreign Minister of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Sergei Peresada, TASS reports.
“Now he’s just telling you lies, lying, in simple terms, when he says that he is ready to discuss Ukraine’s neutral status,” the Russian Foreign Minister said.
During the press conference, Lavrov stated that no one is going to occupy Ukraine.
“The Kremlin continues to consider Zelensky President of Ukraine. Russia is interested in the people of Ukraine being ‘independent’ and the government being representative,” he said.
It should be reminded that in the early morning of 24 February, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a message announcing the decision to launch a special military operation in Donbas: “Circumstances require decisive and immediate action from us.”
