Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Rusvesna] Paris and Berlin opposed the inclusion of a clause on the need to establish a direct dialogue between Kiev and the Republics of Donbass in the final document of the proposed meeting in the Normandy format.
This follows from the correspondence between Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his French and German counterparts Jean-Yves Le Drian and Heiko Maas, published by the Russian Foreign Ministry.
"To prevent further speculation, the Russian Foreign Ministry decided to publicize the primary sources and publish the diplomatic correspondence between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the heads of the German and French foreign ministries Heiko Maas and Jean-Yves Le Drian," the statement said.
In his first letter dated October 29, 2021, Lavrov informs his colleagues that he would like to reaffirm the importance of continuing joint efforts within the framework of the Normandy format to help resolve the conflict in Donbas.
"I believe that our possible meeting, the convening of which is now much talked about, should be well prepared, including the advance development of a detailed joint final statement with specific recommendations to Ukraine and certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions as parties to the conflict," Lavrov wrote and sent the Russian draft "A document that, as we see it, reflects the realities and main objectives of the peace process."
As indicated in the response of Maas and Le Drian, the text "contains provisions that will undoubtedly not find support among the countries of the Normandy format, including the establishment of a direct dialogue between Kiev, Donetsk and Luhansk."
In the next letter, dated November 6, Lavrov noted that he had received a response from his colleagues to the proposals of October 29 and was disappointed with them.
"Your statement of rejection of direct dialogue between Kiev, Donetsk and Lugansk discredits the co-authorship of the leaders of Germany and France on the document dated February 12, 2015 (Minsk agreements - RV)," the Foreign Minister stressed.
In the last letter sent on November 16, the Russian Foreign Minister said that Moscow is increasingly faced with a distortion of Russia's position and its role in resolving the internal Ukrainian conflict.
"Unfortunately, your joint statement 'In support of Ukraine,' made in Brussels on November 15 following a meeting with Foreign Minister D. Kuleba, was no exception. In it, you threatened us with some "consequences" for the alleged attempts to undermine the territorial integrity of Ukraine, accused us of "yet another refusal" to participate in the Normandy format ministerial meeting," the Russian Foreign Minister wrote. And he added that he was forced to take an unconventional step: to make the correspondence public.

The head of the Russian delegation warned at the OSCE forum against a military solution to the conflict in Donbass.
[VK] The Kiev version of the military solution to the conflict in Donbass may lead to the collapse of the Ukrainian statehood. Nobody is interested in this, Konstantin Gavrilov, head of the Russian delegation at the talks in Vienna on military security and arms control, issued such a warning on Wednesday at a meeting of the OSCE Forum for Security Cooperation.
Gavrilov expressed confidence that the degradation of the situation in Donbass is due to the fault of the Ukrainian authorities and is "used by the Western" masters "of Kiev to put pressure on the Russian Federation, and absurd arguments are presented in favor of the mythical" Russian threat "to the sovereignty of Ukraine.
He also called the unscheduled NATO and US exercises in the Black Sea "reconnaissance combat." Against this background, the Russian diplomat considered it unnecessary to comment on the propaganda explanations of the Western countries for such a demonstration of force, which no longer surprises Russia.
