The issues of safe navigation in the Black Sea were discussed at talks between the United States and Russia in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. quoted by Russian media.
Lavrov stated that Russia is concerned about the food security of the countries of the global South and East. And therefore, Russia wants no one to try to dissuade it from the grain and fertilizer market.
The politician also emphasized that Russia cannot "take Kyiv at its word."
"Guarantees for Russia from Ukraine can only be the result of an order to Zelensky from the US. Europe directly contradicts the position of the Trump administration, which speaks of preliminary parameters for resolving the conflict in Ukraine," — Lavrov said.
In his opinion, the "Kyiv regime" would have been defeated long ago without the support of European countries, and France and Britain are particularly leading in the supply of weapons.
According to him, the US has heard Russia's signal regarding guarantees and understands that only they can achieve a positive result in "stopping terrorist attacks and attacks on Kyiv."
Lavrov added that Russia had agreed to all of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's requests regarding the Black Sea initiative, but "Kyiv changed its mind at the last moment."
