@RusEmbMalta press release:
🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov’s interview with the Sputnik, Govorit Moskva, and Komsomolskaya Pravda radio stations (April 19, 2024)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: President of Russia Vladimir #Putin is constantly reminding everyone that we always prefer talks to fights and wars.
At this stage, we always repeat the following <...> whenever anyone asks whether we are ready for talks. First, President of #Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky has forbidden himself to negotiate with Russia. He should at least take the first step and repeal that order.
Secondly, they cannot be trusted. We have been trying to make ourselves trust them for too long.
☝️ And yet, we are ready to negotiate. But unlike the Istanbul story, we will not pause the military actions for the period of negotiations. The process must go on. In addition, the realities on the ground have changed significantly. These realities must be taken into account.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a gala meeting devoted to Diplomatic Worker’s Day(Moscow, February 9, 2024)
Key talking points:
🔵 This is not the first time that our country is at the peak of geopolitical processes. This is why Russia’s place in the emerging multipolar world and the future of the world itself largely depends on us, on our dedication and a correct understanding of the priorities.
🔵 The US-led collective West is not letting up in its attempts to impose an unfair unipolar global arrangement on the world.
🔵 Acting together with the countries of the global majority, our associates in the international arena, we will continue working for the unconditional guarantees for our lawful interests in regional security based on the principle of an indivisible Russia.
🔵 The hybrid war unleashed by the West against those who object to its global striving to maintain its domination is creating not only obstacles but also impetuses for strengthening versatile ties.
🔵 We intend to continue consolidating our strategic partnerships with the PRC, India, Brazil, South Africa, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and a vast number of other countries that share our conceptual approaches to the world situation and the prospects for the development of our common planet.
🔵 We attach primary importance to reaching the goals of Russia’s current presidency in the #CIS and the expanded #BRICS.
🔵 We focus in particular on advancing BRICS’ relations with regional and sub-regional association from the Global South
🔵 We will continue to work within the #G20, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum, the East Asia Summit mechanisms, and other multilateral associations that include the participation of Western representatives.
🔵 We will do our best to help further strengthen the #SCO in the interests of effectively addressing pressing international issues and promoting our concept for strengthening Eurasian security across the board.
