Lavrov: Ukraine’s territory is getting smaller and smaller by violating agreements
reported by Mehr News Agency quoted by Tass, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emphasized at the opening of the 16th World Forum of Russia that the more violation of agreements by Kiev, the more territory Ukraine will lose.
The senior Russian diplomat stated: The more the current Western-backed Ukrainian authorities violate more agreements, the less territory will be left for this regime.
He added: If they had fulfilled what they had agreed on in February 2014 in good faith, nothing would have happened and the Crimean Peninsula would now be a part of Ukraine. But they decided to break the pledge because they were eagerly waiting for a change of government as soon as possible. It came to February 2015 and the Minsk agreements. Yes, Crimea had seceded by then, but if they had honored these agreements, Ukraine would have remained within its borders, including the entire Donbas region. But they didn’t want it to happen because they didn’t want to grant a “special status” privilege to a part of Donbas, which included the confirmation of the right of the people there to speak their mother tongue.
The Russian Foreign Minister also pointed to and emphasized the Istanbul agreements: and the third opportunity they had was April 2022 in Istanbul. The President of Russia (Vladimir Putin) has already talked about its details. Of course, the current situation is different from April 2022.
