Russian foreign minister Lavrov: Unacceptable approaches

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

[ColonelCassad] Lavrov made it clear that Russia is not going to participate in the "new peace conference" that Zelensky is mumbling about. According to Lavrov, there are "unacceptable approaches" for Russia there.

Yes, there are a number of objective reasons for this.

1. Switzerland as such is obviously not suitable, since Switzerland is not a neutral country. For the same reasons, Russia is unlikely to participate in any conference that will be held on NATO territory (with the possible exception of Turkey).

2. Zelensky is not a legitimate representative of Ukraine. His term of office has expired and he is illegally holding power. Accordingly, any agreement with Zelensky has no legal force and can subsequently be easily annulled, simply due to the fact that Zelensky does not have the legal authority to act as president after the expiration of his term.

3. The "peace conference" in the minds of the United States and their Kiev puppets is a gathering to discuss "Zelensky's peace formula". After the failure of the summit in Switzerland, where the initiators themselves were afraid to discuss their own "formula" in its entirety, there is even less point in Russia discussing it in any form at any future summit where it considers it necessary to participate.

4. At the moment, Russia may be interested in a summit that will be held on the territory of a truly neutral country, with a discussion of Putin's conditions for the completion of the CBO and the Chinese peace plan that suits the Global South.

5. At the same time, until such agreements are concluded, military actions will not be stopped, so as not to give the enemy a respite to strengthen its military potential.
