>The Russian Foreign Minister made a number of statements:
>Russia supports the principles of security guarantees agreed in Istanbul in 2022, everything else is futile, Lavrov said.
>He added that, in fact, Europe is proposing foreign intervention on part of Ukrainian territory – this is absolutely unacceptable for Moscow.
>When and if it comes to signing future agreements with Ukraine, the question of the legitimacy of the signatories from the Ukrainian side will arise.
>Lavrov expressed hope that Europe's course of undermining efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine would fail and Russia and the United States would continue to work as agreed by the leaders.
>Putin is ready to meet with Zelensky only if all the issues that need to be discussed at the highest level are well worked out.
