She recalled that NBC previously reported, citing unnamed sources, that ex-US officials allegedly held secret talks with Lavrov in April to lay the groundwork for negotiations to end the conflict in Ukraine.
"Fake! This misinformation has been launched in Western media," she wrote in her Telegram channel.
As IA Regnum reported, on June 30, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that in the conflict in Ukraine, Russia is fighting not for territories, but for the Russian people, as well as for its history, religion and for the Russian language. As the head of the Foreign Ministry noted, answering the question of whether there could be “peace in exchange for territories” in this conflict, such an approach based on the principle of “I for you, you for me” is more suitable for a bazaar.
“We [fight] not for territories, but for people, for our history, religion, the Russian language, which is the official language of the entire UN system and which is now simply crushed, and not only in Ukraine, but also in other European countries, in the Baltics," he said.
Lavrov stressed that everyone is silent on this issue and does not answer the question about this situation in any way, and clarified that it is impossible to imagine a situation when some other languages will be banned in some states.
