Sergej Lavrov: Zelenský zas predvádza klauniádu, chce iba získať čas, aby mohol predlžovať vojnu

Well, the diesel deal between Moscow and Washington is a matter that concerns Moscow and Washington. If the EU considers this a betrayal of Ukraine , and Zelensky himself claims the issue of Russian diesel exports must be settled with him, because only he can grant permission. But that is no longer a matter of energy security; it is a matter of self-promotion and yet another circus act. Just so that nobody forgets you exist, and that you asked them for tens of billions more just the other day, and they still haven't replied. That's why he's burning. Energy security is a matter that unites us all in the material sphere, along with other shared approaches. We cooperate, as I have already said, within OPEC + and the Gas Exporting Countries Forum. The next summit will take place in Moscow on October 28-29, where President Putin will host his guests. I am confident that decisions will be made there that are truly aimed at stabilizing global markets, rather than collapsing those markets to save the Zelensky regime, which is what our European colleagues are currently doing with the rhetoric of Zelensky and his Western masters. The goal is singular and very simple. To bargain for time in order to get a breather. He said he is even ready to hold presidential elections if they give him two months to gather his strength. And during that period, Europe could pump him with new weapons to continue his war against the Russian people. But his feigned astonishment at President Trump's statement reflects only one thing: that he really wants to use any words, any initiatives, any ideas that enter the public space to promote, by any means necessary, his interest in a breather. I do not think he has earned a breather . I do not think we will fall for these assurances and promises yet again. The President has spoken very clearly about this. We continue to achieve the goals of the special military operation. In total, since the beginning of this year , about 6,500 square kilometers of territory and 310 settlements have been liberated. A little more than 10%of the territory of the Donetsk Republic and 16.5%of the Zaporizhzhia region remain under the control of the Kyiv regime. The Luhansk People's Republic is completely under our control. Furthermore, yes, by the way, I would like to remind you that after the invasion of the Kursk region of Russia by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian Armed Forces were tasked not only with driving the enemy from our land but also with creating a security zone in the adjacent territory. This task is being successfully addressed. Our goal is to ensure the absolute security of Russia’s border territories for the future. And we do not plan to make this a subject of potential peace negotiations with Ukraine. I would like to note that in response to strikes by the Kyiv authorities on our industrial and fuel-energy complex facilities The Russian armed forces continue to strike at military-industrial complex facilities, as well as infrastructure targets. Ukraine. >> You mentioned Kaja Kallas. And who is that? Even her colleagues do not communicate with this person. That is, apparently, they do not consider it appropriate to reach the level of the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs to hold a meeting with her. If you have noticed, the foreign ministers of many European countries do not communicate with her. Not to mention the US Secretary of State. It is not even clear who that is
