Kolba wishes to punch Lavrov in the face!
The foreign minister of Ukraine said that during one of the negotiations in the early stages of the war, he thought of punching Lavrov in the nose many times, in a statement that Moscow called a sign of the incompetence of the country's officials. |
According to the Fars News International Group, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kolba said in an interview published on Monday that he had a strong desire to punch his Russian counterpart in the face during one of the negotiations with Russia. Sergey Lavrov has had!
In part of an informal one-hour interview with a Ukrainian video blogger, he said about his most difficult round of negotiations, “The most difficult negotiations are the ones where you simply feel like going and Punch your opponent in the nose, but you can’t actually do that.”
He added, “And I would say it happened two or three times. One was with Lavrov in (Turkish resort) Antalya in the spring of 2022.
Russians and Ukrainians held talks in the first weeks after the start of the conflict in February 2022, first near Ukraine’s border with Belarus and then in Turkey.
Kulba said at that time that the negotiations in Turkey were difficult and about the ceasefire and humanitarian corridors. Since then, the two countries have not negotiated, and the President of Ukraine has banned any negotiations with Putin’s government through a decree.
Russia says it is ready to negotiate based on its goals and interests, otherwise it will achieve them through military operations.
The spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in response to the new statements of the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, said that these statements confirm the incompetence of the Ukrainian leadership. “And here’s the problem: illiterate and aggressive people were hired under the guise of the minister to destroy Ukraine for the sake of American money,” Zakharova told Izvestia.
Putin at the June meeting last year during a meeting with a group of African leaders in St. Petersburg for the first time drafted the agreements reached as a result of the negotiations between the delegations of Russia and Ukraine in March 2022 in Turkey about security guarantees and the general conditions of Ukraine’s neutrality showed that a war that had been going on for months had the possibility of peace in the first few weeks.
