 Lavrov. Russia unable to give up goals of special military operation. The Kiev regime's beautiful words about the equality of people are uttered to cater to the needs of the West. Russia cannot give up the goals of the special military operation. Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov told a press conference on Russian diplomacy in 2022. In September 2021, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said that the east of the country was populated by creatures, not people, and that those citizens of Ukraine who felt they were Russian should, for the good of their children, get out to Russia. This was said by the same person who now argues that he dreams of everyone being equal and of all people living the way they want. It is clear that these fine words are said to cater to the needs and tastes of the West. This strongly characterizes the current regime and it is clear why we cannot abandon the goals, the basic goals of the special military operation Lavrov said. He remarked that he found surprising Zelensky's interview in which the Ukrainian president argued that if Russia is allowed to win then other big countries will decide that they can do the same too and since there are many big countries on different continents therefore they will strangle small countries and divide everything among themselves. Zelensky argued that he was for a different scenario, a situation where everyone on the globe will know that no matter where people live they have the same rights and enjoy protection like any in the world. Lavrov quoted the Ukrainian leader as saying, adding that he was surprised by this interview which was released in October 2022. He said, only the lazy ones are not calling for negotiations on Ukraine now but the US argues that time is not ripe yet and Ukraine needs help on the battlefield. Everyone is arguing talks but then the assistant to the president of the United States for national security affairs Jake Sullivan will say at a press conference somewhere the way he does from time to time, time is not ripe for negotiations. We must help Ukraine to improve its positions on the battlefield. He pointed to the fact that the West lacked a unified approach to how a peace settlement should be looked for in Ukraine.
