In an interview with state news agency TASS, Lavrov said Ukraine must cede sovereignty over territories annexed to Russia since Putin’s February 24 invasion. He repeated the unsubstantiated claim that Russia started the war to “denazize and demilitarize” Ukraine. The content of the interview was published on the 27th.
Lavrov said the Kremlin’s goals were “well understood by the enemy” and that “it would have been better for the Russians to achieve their goals, otherwise the matter would have been decided by the Russian military”.
