It is wrong to say that Russia is not willing to make concessions, the countrys top diplomat stated
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has rebuked CBS host in an interview on Sunday repeating that Moscow is ready to seek a "balance of interests" both with Ukraine and with the US. The network's journalist Margaret Brennan has said that she haven't heard from the top diplomat that Moscow "is willing to make any concession on anything to date."
"No, my brief answer is you are wrong," Lavrov told Brennan.
"I have been emphasizing repeatedly, in relation to Ukraine, in relation to strategic relations with the United States, I have been emphasizing our readiness to seek balance of interests. If- if this is not what your station considers readiness for negotiations, then I don't know how to be even less eloquent in trying to be brief in my answers," he added.
Lavrov confirmed that Russia is continuing contacts with Washington regarding Ukraine and welcomed US President Donald Trump's efforts to mediate.
"There are several signs that we are moving in the right direction," Lavrov said. He emphasized that Russia demands guarantees that any ceasefire "would not be used again to beef up Ukrainian military" and that arms supplies to Ukraine should stop.
