[Regnum] Russia, unlike the West, has no lack of goodwill towards a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced thison March 2 at a briefing in Antalya, Turkey.

“We have no shortage of goodwill. We see a lack of goodwill on that side,” Lavrov said.

He added that Russia sees on the other side a lack of understanding of what is happening and a desire to continue to achieve its defeat on the battlefield.

Thus, recently the head of the US Department of Defense, Lloyd Austin, said that NATO would have to enter into conflict with Russia in the event of Ukraine’s defeat. And French President Emmanuel Macron allowed NATO troops to be sent to the combat zone, Lavrov recalled.

According to the Russian minister, these trends cancel out all assurances about the West's interest in a political settlement.

As Regnum reported, Lavrov also noted that after the meeting in Istanbul in 2022, Russia did not receive serious proposals for negotiations with Ukraine. There are no initiatives for dialogue taking into account Russia’s interests.

#2  No end to the Ukrainian war

They ARE running out of Ukrainians willing to fight for - whatever it is they're fighting for.

#1  Russia has never been a part of the western club. Russia has tried but never allowed. Poorly understood. Different religion. Different customs. Vast resources. No end to the Ukrainian war because it is the USA and the Wests desire to destroy Russia. Russia must bow down under the heal of the West. Be more like us then you are OK but never a club member.
