Russia sees nothing serious in foreign statements on Ukraine — Lavrov

 Russia is aware of various political statements calling for a settlement in Ukraine, but so far, it has not found anything serious in them, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated during a press conference.

"Every day, new statements emerge - [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky says one thing today, something different tomorrow, and then his administration, or what they call the Office of the Ukrainian President, corrects him," Lavrov pointed out. "It is pointless to follow this. What truly matters are the actions on the ground and the practical steps taken by politicians when something serious is proposed. So far, we see our armed forces consistently achieving their objectives on the ground, and we have not found anything serious in the statements of politicians yet," he added.

Kiev has repeatedly rejected peace and mediation initiatives from third countries, saying it will only promote the so-called Zelensky formula.
