[Korrespondent] To return the uncontrolled Donbass to the control of the Ukrainian government, it is necessary to implement the Minsk package of measures, Lavrov said.
The only possible way out of the impasse that has developed with the settlement of the conflict in Donbass is the implementation of the Minsk agreements. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview with Arguments and Facts.
According to him, Ukraine is trying to change the sequence of implementing the provisions of the Package of Measures, putting in the first place gaining control over the entire Russian-Ukrainian border with the subsequent holding of local elections in Donbass.
"To find a way out of the impasse, the authorities in Kiev must decide whether they want the return of Donbass to the Ukrainian state. If so, then there is only one way to this goal - a clear and consistent implementation of the Package of Measures," Lavrov said.
He also said that Ukraine "refuses" to grant Donbass a special status, as provided for in the Minsk agreements.
"Instead, Kiev is" shifting the arrows "to Russia, trying to make it a party to the conflict, demanding stronger anti-Russian sanctions," Lavrov said.
As you know, in the Normandy format, they continue to discuss the peace plan for the Donbass, proposed by Germany and France. Recently, the media learned about new proposals on it from Ukraine .
Oleksiy Arestovich, speaker of the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group, believes that the decision on a peace plan for Donbass will be made after October 1.

[Regnum] The head of the press service of the Iranian Foreign Ministry Said Khatibzade said that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will visit Azerbaijan and Armenia. However, he did not name the purpose of the visit and the issues that will be discussed during Zarif's Transcaucasian tour. The last time the head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry passed this route was at the end of January this year.
But then Tbilisi, Ankara and Moscow were added to Baku and Yerevan, which looked like a probing trip. It was important for Tehran not only to assess the changes in the region that occurred after the signing by Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia of the peace agreement on November 9, 2020, which ended the second Karabakh war, but also to find its place in the new regional geopolitical reality.

No doubt. Beer Summit was awkward and that was on a good day.
Without a date, all we have here is an acceptance of Putin's idea from what 6?8? weeks ago, though strong odds favor not-live and something coming up beforehand.
[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] Russia’s foreign minister on Monday warned The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... against what he said were attempts to fuel "militaristic sentiment" in Ukraine after Ankara moved to boost cooperation with Kyiv.
Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... last month pledged support to Kyiv amid a buildup of Russian forces along its border with Ukraine.
Erdogan said at the time that Turkey, a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... member, and Ukraine had launched a platform with their foreign and defense ministers to discuss defense industry cooperation, but added that this was "not in any way a move against third countries".
"We strongly recommend that our Ottoman Turkish colleagues carefully analyze the situation and stop fuelling Kyiv’s militaristic sentiment," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Argumenty I Fakty newspaper.
He said that encouraging "aggressive" Ukrainian actions towards Russian-annexed Crimea amounted to encroachment on Russia’s territorial integrity.
"We hope Ankara will adjust its line based on our legitimate concerns."
Turkey, along with the rest of NATO, criticized Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and voiced support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity as Kyiv’s forces battle pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Turkey, which faces Ukraine and Russia across the Black Sea to the north, also sold drones to Kyiv in 2019.
But Ankara has also forged close cooperation with Moscow over conflicts in Syria, Libya, and Nagorno-Karabakh as well as in the areas of defense and energy.
Moscow’s ties with the West have languished at post-Cold War lows since the annexation of Crimea, which resulted in a flurry of sanctions being imposed against Russia.

Belarus claims it forced Ryanair plane to land because of Hamas threat
[IsraelTimes] A senior Belarus transportation official says that the country had received a bomb threat claiming to be from Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, ahead of the diversion of a Ryanair passenger flight carrying a dissident, a diversion that drew widespread excoriation from Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and the United States.
Artem Sikorsky, the head of the aviation department at the transportation and communications ministry, reads out a letter to journalists that says: "We, the soldiers of Hamas, demand that Israel ceasefire in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip. We demand that the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... renounces its support for Israel in this war... A bomb is planted on this flight. If you do not fulfill our demands, the bomb will explode over Vilnius on May 23."
Critics have charged that the forced landing of the Ryanair flight to arrest a dissident on board amounted to "piracy," and US and European Union officials are reportedly mulling steps to punish Belarus’s authoritarian regime for the incident.
German leader Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists... on Monday dismisses Belarus’s explanation for why it forced an airliner to land in Minsk and arrested a dissident on board.
"We have seen a forced landing that led to the arrest," Merkel says on arrival at an EU summit where sanctions will be discussed. "All other explanations for the landing of this Ryanair flight are completely implausible."
