Sergey Lavrov has said talks with Ukraine have ground to a halt, claiming that Kiev’s “unresponsiveness” is a major factor.

The Russian Foreign Minister added the Zelensky admin has outright ignored Moscow’s latest proposals. Despite that, Lavrov added Russia is ready to approve some of the Kiev-proposed conditions, such as the list of nation-guarantors for Ukraine’s sovereignty.

Russia is bad. There is no excuse for invading Ukraine, and the argument that it was a strategic imperative to stop NATO’s encroachment is just propaganda, right? That’s what every source in the mainstream media will tell you.
