Lavrov: "For lasting peace, new territorial realities must be recognized under international law."

They want international recognition of Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories. If that happens, that will mean completely destruction of existing international law and order.

In an interview with Indonesia’s Kompas, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called on the global community to acknowledge the "new territorial reality of Ukraine":

"For the achievement of sustainable peace, it is necessary to recognize and legalize within the framework of international law the new territorial realities that arose following the incorporation—via referendums—of Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions into the Russian Federation.
Finally, Ukraine must be granted neutrality, refrain from joining military alliances, and remain without nuclear weapons. These principles are enshrined in the 1990 Declaration of Independence of Ukraine, which at that time served as the basis for the recognition of Ukrainian statehood by both Russia and the international community.”
