Lavrov said that Ukraine must include its "denazification" and "demilitarization" in a peace agreement.

Which is further proof that Russia doesn't want peace, it wants Ukrainian capitulation.

More of Lavrov's statements from an interview with a Hungarian Magyar Nemzet media. If you've been following the war for any time, you will see nothing new here. So Russia has no willingness to end the war.

▪ "Russia does not need a pause that the Kyiv regime and its external backers would use to regroup troops, continue mobilization, and strengthen their military capabilities."

▪ "It is necessary to recognize in international law the new territorial realities that have emerged with the accession of Crimea, Sevastopol, the 'Donetsk People's Republic', the 'Luhansk People's Republic', and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions to Russia."

▪ "Today, Russia and Hungary are openly standing up for their compatriots. We can join forces in this effort."

▪ "The appearance of NATO bases in Ukraine and the country's involvement in a warring alliance poses a direct threat to our national security."
