Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had an interview with 60 Minutes on December 25, 2024 and was asked about the Ukraine war and potential deals to end it. Here’s some of what he said:

Lavrov: We have not had any illusions about the prospects of 2025. Resolving the Ukraine crisis doesn’t have any prospects, either. It has long been clear to everyone holding unbiased positions that it can be settled only in the context of agreements on lasting security and stability in Europe, which would take into account the interests of the Russian Federation and the legitimate interests of all other countries.

Everyone thinks the arrival of the Trump Administration will change things. There is much speculation about this going on.

As I earlier mentioned, we have no illusions. There is a fairly robust bipartisan consensus in Washington on supporting the Kiev regime. US doctrinal documents describe our country as an adversary that needs to be “strategically defeated.” In free speeches, the Biden administration officials have even called us an enemy.
We have never claimed that with the Trump Administration in the White House the negotiating process on global security and Ukraine will begin no matter what. This will not be, as many are now hoping, an inevitable outcome.

We hear about Donald Trump’s interest, who appointed Keith Kellogg as his special envoy for Ukraine, in stopping this war as soon as possible. We have always been in favour of it never beginning which fact is corroborated by our support for the document signed by Yanukovich and the opposition in February 2014. It was guaranteed by European countries, but the opposition tore it up the next morning.

We also supported the Minsk agreements, which stopped the Kiev regime’s terrorist attack against its citizens in Donbass.


🚨President Putin has repeatedly stressed that we never walk away from talks. We need to see serious, concrete proposals. When we have them, we will decide on how to respond to them based on our national interests, the goals of the special military operation, and President Vladimir Putin’s June 14 speech at the Foreign Ministry…the demand to fulfill what has been repeatedly agreed upon over many years: militarisation of Ukraine (which is a direct violation of the agreements that NATO will not “gobble up” an increasing number of countries to the east and approach directly the border of the Russian Federation), and respect for the obligations under the UN Charter, including with regard to human rights, language and religious rights among them...The West wants to remove any competitor. With regard to us, Ukraine has been chosen as a tool to this end.

More key points:

🚨The prevailing discourse we are hearing both in the West and in Ukraine today is about a truce and only truce. It is about buying time to allow the Kiev regime to regain strength, with the help of the West, and resume its attempts to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, acting on their Western bosses’ instructions.

🚨President Vladimir Putin has mentioned this repeatedly – during the Direct Line, at the Valdai Discussion Club meeting, and at the Russia Calling! investment forum. We will not be satisfied with a truce. We need reliable and legally binding agreements aimed at eliminating the root causes of the conflict, addressing problems such as common security in Europe, NATO expansion, the European Union’s recent decision to become an appendage of the North Atlantic bloc, in fact, erasing all differences between these organisations, and above all, upholding the rights of the people living in these territories who have supported reunification with the Russian Federation.

🚨We have never initiated a discussion regarding what should be done with nuclear weapons and whether they can be used.

A Palestinian woman was killed by an Israeli grenade that was dropped by a drone on the entrance of Kamal Odwan hospital, north of Gaza.

استشهاد سيدة بعد قيام مسيرة اسرائيلية بإلقاء قنبلة عند مدخل مستشفى كمال عدوان شمال القطاع

Dr. Hossam Abu Safia , the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, spoke about the targeting of one of the medics inside the hospital due to the explosive robots detonated by the Israeli occupation army near Kamal Adwan Hospital. The medic’s condition is extremely critical, and survival is not expected. Every day, dozens of explosive robots are detonated near the hospital.

‎الدكتور حسام أبو صفية، مدير مستشفى كمال عدوان، يتحدث عن استهداف أحد الحكماء داخل المستشفى بسبب الروبوتات المتفجرة التي يقوم جيش الاحتلال الإسرائيلي بتفجيرها بجوار مستشفى كمال عدوان. حالة الحكيم خطيرة للغاية ولا يُتوقع له النجاة، وكل يوم يتم تفجير عشرات الروبوتات بجوار المستشفى.

"Warning: Sensitive Content

🇸🇾 Breaking | A report has emerged about mass executions of Syrians by Netanyahu-Erdogan-Arab-EU-assisted terrorists across Syria. These terrorists are slaughtering innocent Syrians who protested against torture.

Tahrir terrorist soldiers are beating, killing, and violating Alawite civilians under the false allegation that they are “Shabiha” (Assadist militants) and are filming their acts."

🇾🇪 Report | An account of a Kurdish Islamist terrorist, sent by the wanted terrorists Erdogan, Fidan, and Kalin, is taking pride in killing an Alawite man along with his two sons. Cross reports says they were innocent civilians who were working as an employee in a government office.

🇸🇾 Breaking | As we exposed, Julani’s group, with intelligence assistance from the USA, Europe, EU, and Mossad, has hatched sleeper cells to kill and assassinate Syrians as much as they can. Not only this, but many cases have been recorded where terrorists are recruiting people under the guise of monetary rewards to gather intelligence and kill Syrians in secret ways.

Meanwhile, fraudulent and tyrannical global digital supporters are cheering and supporting these actions. This has exposed not only Zionists but also the hidden cells of Wahhabism and extremist Sunni Takfiris, who have reached a level where even tolerant Sunnis are not spared at all.
