ReplyDeleteThey hastily and illegally annexed regions of Ukraine and expect Ukraine to agree to sue for peace based on the conditions of honoring those annexations. Horse shit.
But there's no Russian expectation of the sort - they know full well that Ukraine can't and won't agree to such a deal, and even if they did, it would be massive destabilization of their government and sovereign status.
Russia wants this war to continue. It's on the wall clear as day.
Lavrov should be a nonstarter as a diplomat to any country.
