Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday any peace deal on Ukraine must ensure Russia’s security, speaking a day after high-level talks in Washington to resolve to conflict.
“Without respect for Russia’s security interests, without full respect for the rights of Russians and Russian-speaking people who live in Ukraine, there can be no talk of any long-term agreements,” Lavrov told state TV channel Rossiya 24.
