Kazan, June 10 — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Wednesday that Moscow would continue to ignore European proposals for dialogue with Russia until it is convinced such initiatives are of serious nature and not merely another attempt to “protect and preserve, as well as strengthen, the Kiev Nazi regime.”
In a press conference following a meeting of the CSTO Council of Foreign Ministers, Lavrov said: “It will be only when we receive and then be convinced that [European] proposals are of a serious nature and not just another attempt to protect and preserve, as well as strengthen, the Kiev Nazi regime. We will then probably take note of that, but I would simply ignore such ideas in view of practical perspectives.”
Lavrov added that based on statements from Russian European partners, Moscow has been hearing about possible options to resume dialogue for the sake of “their own perception of what they really stand for.”
