🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview to the US bloggers Mario Naufal, Larri Johnson and Andrew Napolitano (Moscow, March 12, 2025)
Key talking points:
• I think what is going on in the United States is a return to normalcy. <...> The fact is that a normal administration without any, you know, unchristian ideas came to power and the reaction was such an explosion in the media, in the politics all over the world is very interesting and very telling.
• When we met in Riyadh with Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz and Steve Witkoff they suggested the meeting and they said, look, we want normal relations in the sense that the foundation of the American foreign policy under the Donald Trump administration is the national interest of the United States. But at the same time, we understand that other countries also have their national interest.
• It is very well understood that countries like the United States and Russia would never have their national interest the same. They would not coincide maybe even 50 or less percent. But when they do coincide this situation must be used to develop this simultaneous and similar interest. But when the interests do not coincide and contradict each other then the responsible countries must do everything not to allow this contradiction to degenerate into confrontation, especially military confrontation which would be disastrous for many other countries.
• The beginning of the special military operation was a decision because all other attempts, all other alternatives to bring things into some positive dimension failed for ten years after the illegal coup in Kiev, in violation of the deal signed the night before and guaranteed by the Germans, French and Poles.
• I don't think the Americans would drop from NATO. At least President Trump never hinted that this might be the case. But what he did bluntly say was that if you want us to protect you, to give you security guarantees, you pay what is necessary.
• But President Trump doesn't want to provide these security guarantees to Ukraine under Zelensky. He has his own view of the situation which he bluntly presents every now and then, that this war should never have started – that pulling Ukraine into NATO in violation of its Constitution, in violation of the Declaration of Independence of 1991, on the basis of which we recognized Ukraine as a sovereign state. For several reasons including that this Declaration was saying no NATO, no blocs, neutral status. Another thing which this Declaration also confirmed and solidified - all rights of Russian and all other national minorities are to be respected.
• Europe and the UK they certainly want this to continue. The way they received Zelensky in London after the scandal in Washington, it's an indication that they want to raise the stakes and they are preparing something to pressure the Donald Trump administration back into some aggressive action against Russia.
• It's not about the territories, it's about the people who were deprived of their history by law. Territories are important only because people live on these territories. The people who live on the territories are descendants of those who for hundreds of years were building Odessa & other cities on those very lands who were building ports, roads, who were founding those lands and who associated with the history of this land.
❗️ The Americans know that we would not betray our commitments, legal commitments, the political commitments which we develop with China.

🎙 Excerpt from Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with US bloggers Mario Nawfal, Larry C. Johnson and Andrew Napolitano (Moscow, March 12, 2025)
❓ Question: What about President Putin's statement in June 2024 regarding the conditions for a settlement or even to start negotiations with Ukraine. And my reading of it has been President Putin's position has been the same. Your position has been the same as the President's. It's been also by the Vice Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said it. And yet I think there are some in the West that perceive that you don't really mean what you say.
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Let them be misguided. You know, our conscience is very clear and clean. <...> We know what must be done and that we would not compromise the fate of the people.
It's not about the territories, it's about the people who were deprived of their history by law. When Zelensky was asked in September 2021, long before the operation, in an interview when the war was still going on in violation of the Minsk agreements, by an interviewer what he thought about the people on the other side of the line of contact. And he said you know, there are people and there are species. And if anybody living in Ukraine feels that he or she is a part of Russian culture my advice to you, for the sake of your children, for the future of your grandkids go to Russia, get out of Ukraine. <...>
The sequence of events which made us absolutely concentrated on achieving the results which would be in favour of the people, which would be saving the people. [There are] those who speak, well, we have to bring Ukraine back into 1991 territory [and that] Russia must get out.
Territories are important only because people live on these territories. And the people who live on the territories which he wants back are descendants of those who for hundreds of years were building Odessa and other cities on those very lands who were building ports, roads, who were founding those lands and who associated with the history of this land. <...>
Just a brief sequence of events:
• In the 2004 elections, the two candidates - one is considered pro-Russian, another is considered pro-American. The pro-Western candidate Mr. Viktor Yushchenko wins.
• At the next presidential elections the candidate who was considered pro-Russian, Mr. Viktor Yanukovych, is winning in a very clean way.
• Then, Mr. Yanukovych in 2013 (maybe even earlier, but in 2013 it culminated) started negotiations with the European Union on getting an association agreement. <...> Our experts started explaining to Ukrainian colleagues that if you go to the association status with the European Union you get zero tariffs on many items. <...> There is no customs border between Ukraine and Russia. So we would have to close this border.
• Then President Viktor Yanukovych asked for postponement of the signature of this association agreement. He said, I want to understand this better, how we can handle it. This was the trigger for that “maidan”. Well prepared, hundreds of tents of the same make, the same colour, the same everything and this maidan culminated in February 2014 when Germany, France, Poland negotiated between the legitimate president and the opposition. And that's how it started.
• Then there were Minsk Agreements. Had they delivered on the Minsk Agreements, they [Ukraine] would still have been in 1991 borders, minus Crimea.
• April 2022, Istanbul. Macron said that Putin tried to impose something on Zelensky. It's another lie by Macron. Because the paper which was initialed by us and Ukrainians, was prepared by Ukrainians. And we accepted this. It was very straightforward: no NATO, no military bases, no military manoeuvres. Instead of NATO, guarantees are provided by “Permanent Five” plus Germany, plus Türkiye, and the list is open. <...>
Had they been cooperative and had they delivered on their own initiative, they [Ukraine] would still have 1991 borders, minus Crimea, minus some part of Donbass.
❗️ Every time they cheat, they lose.

🇷🇺 President of Russia Vladimir Putin chaired a meeting at a command post of the Kursk group of forces (March 13, 2025)
💬 President Putin: Our immediate task is to rout the enemy, who has become entrenched and continues fighting in the Kursk Region, as soon as possible, to liberate the Kursk Region and regain our positions along the state border.
I would like to ask you to think about creating a security zone on the state border in the future. We should consider doing this.
We regard those who have invaded the Kursk Region, are committing crimes against civilians there and fighting against our Armed Forces, law enforcement and special services as terrorists.
That is how the Prosecutor General’s Office has qualified their activities, and it is under articles on terrorism that the Investigative Committee has initiated proceedings against them.
☝️ We must certainly regard these people [Ukrainian POWs] primarily as terrorists, in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation. We provide and should continue to provide humane treatment for all those we capture.
On the other hand, I would like to remind you that foreign mercenaries do not come within the purview of the 1949 Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War.

⚡️ Заявление МИД России об ответных мерах на шестнадцатый «пакет» санкций Евросоюза в отношении России
💬 Одержимый идеей нанесения нашей стране «стратегического поражения», Европейский союз продолжает наращивать односторонние, нелегитимные с точки зрения международного права ограничительные меры в отношении России.
Очередной — 16-й по счету — санкционный «пакет» был утверждён странами-членами Евросоюза 24 февраля — намеренно к годовщине начала специальной военной операции.
В ответ на эти недружественные действия российской стороной существенно расширен список представителей евроинститутов и стран-членов Евросоюза, которым в соответствии с Федеральным законом «О порядке выезда из Российской Федерации и въезда в Российскую Федерацию» от 15 августа 1996 года № 114-ФЗ запрещён въезд на территорию нашего государства.
❗️ Речь идёт о представителях силовых ведомств, государственных и коммерческих организаций стран ЕС, гражданах стран-членов Евросоюза, ответственных за оказание военной помощи Украине, ведущих деятельность, направленную на подрыв территориальной целостности нашей страны и организацию блокады движения российских судов и грузов в Балтийском море; представителях евроструктур и государственных органов стран ЕС, причастных к преследованию российских должностных лиц за «незаконные аресты и вывоз людей с украинских территорий», занимающихся созданием «трибунала» в отношении российского руководства, выступающих за конфискацию российских госактивов или использование прибыли от них в интересах Украины, ответственных за введение санкций против Российской Федерации и пытающихся навредить отношениям России с другими государствами; «отличившихся» своей русофобской риторикой гражданских активистах и представителях научного сообщества; депутатах стран-членов ЕС и Европарламента, голосовавших за антироссийские резолюции и законопроекты.
В российский «стоп-лист» были также внесены отдельные представители структур Совета Европы, отметившиеся антироссийской активностью.
❌ Враждебные акции против Российской Федерации не останутся без ответа.
Россия, несмотря ни на что, продолжит следовать курсу на отстаивание своих национальных интересов и защиту нового справедливого миропорядка.

🎙 Ответ Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.В.Лаврова на вопрос СМИ (Москва, 13 марта 2025 года)
❓ Вопрос: В Саудовской Аравии Вы обсуждали с переговорщиками в том числе вопрос временного перемирия, что не будет никакого временного перемирия. Зачем они продолжают на этом настаивать?
💬 С.В.Лавров: Они не напирают. Американцы объявили, что обсудили это с украинцами. Ждут нашей реакции.
Президент России В.В.Путин не раз говорил, что перемирие (как показывает история), начиная с 2014 года, объявлялось уже неоднократно. И Минские договорённости, и договорённости, которые потом были разрушены в феврале 2014 года, а также договорённости в Стамбуле — всё это было сопряжено с объявлением перемирия.
❗️ Каждый раз после договорённостей выяснялось, что украинцы нам врали при поддержке своих «партнёров», которые тоже из Европы.
Если европейцы сейчас хотят сделать так, чтобы украинцы ещё и американцев «обвели вокруг пальца», то, думаю, что Администрация Д.Трампа всё прекрасно понимает и во всём разберётся.
Нам нужен устойчивый, постоянный мир, опирающийся на устранение первопричин нынешней ситуации на Украине.

Прекрасно понимаем, почему киевский режим так озверел в эти дни. Терпящий ежедневные ощутимые потери на поле боя неонацистский киевский режим с помощью террористических методов пытается показать свою способность вести переговоры «с позиции силы», но на деле демонстрирует собственное бессилие и по сути – свой конец.
За 10 лет на руках украинских боевиков-нелюдей кровь не менее чем 1700 ребят. А теперь задумайтесь все те, кто регулярно в странах EC и НАТО голосует за помощь киевскому режиму. За что вы голосуете?! Против кого направлены дула ваших орудий и на что идут эти самые десятки, сотни миллионов долларов и евро.

Видим в заявлениях западных официальных лиц, в сообщениях СМИ и в «утечках» информацию о планах Парижа и Лондона направить на территорию Украины некий «европейский миротворческий контингент».
Считаем даже озвучивание таких планов откровенно провокационным шагом, направленным не на урегулирование конфликта, а на поддержание нездоровых и вредных иллюзий у верхушки киевского режима.
Показательно, что Вашингтон дистанцируется от планов Лондона и Парижа разместить какой бы то ни было свой контингент на Украине, зная, к чему это может привести с военной точки зрения.
Для нас абсолютно неприемлемо размещение на Украине подразделений вооружённых сил других государств под любым «флагом», будь то иностранные контингенты, военные базы или некие «миротворческие операции», которые предлагают те, кто слово «миротворчество» и «мир» вообще изъяли из своего лексикона.
Это будет означать вовлечение этих стран в прямой вооружённый конфликт с Российской Федерацией, на которое мы будем реагировать всеми имеющимися средствами.

Наши бывшие партнёры не оставляют попыток незаконно присвоить российские активы, замороженные на территории Евросоюза в рамках незаконных ограничительных мер.
Все заблокированные российские средства и причитающиеся по ним доходы являются собственностью Российской Федерации. Присвоение прибыли от финансовых операций, осуществляемых с использованием наших резервных средств без соответствующего согласия российской стороны, – это воровство.
Подобные действия французов наглядно свидетельствует о том, что они не заинтересованы в долгосрочном урегулировании кризиса вокруг Украины.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin held a briefing session with permanent members of the Security Council, via videoconference (March 14, 2025)
💬 Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues,
Let’s begin. Today, we have a planned issue on our agenda – that of restoring Russian-American relations.
We know that the new administration led by President Trump is doing everything to restore at least something of what was practically reduced to nothing, destroyed by the previous US administration.
This process is not easy, if not to say very complicated. Nevertheless, as everyone is well aware, I had a telephone conversation with President Trump, our Foreign Minister had the first contacts with his American counterpart, and Yury Ushakov, Aide to the President of Russia, met with his vis-a-vis. <...>
However, before we begin our work, I would like to say that we have noted today’s appeal by the US President, Mr Trump, to spare the lives of the Ukrainian servicemen, blocked by Russian forces in the Kursk Region incursion zone.
In this context, we make it a point that Ukrainian militants have committed numerous crimes against the civilian population in the incursion zone. These acts, as I have already mentioned, are qualified as terrorism by the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation.
❗️ Still, we understand President Trump’s call to be guided by humanitarian considerations in treating these service members. In that regard, I stress that if they lay down their arms and surrender, they will be guaranteed life and dignified treatment as per international law and Russian legislation.
To have the US President’s call effectively implemented, a relevant order is needed by Ukrainian military-political leadership to its armed units to lay down arms and surrender.
💬 Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues,
Let’s begin. Today, we have a planned issue on our agenda – that of restoring Russian-American relations.
We know that the new administration led by President Trump is doing everything to restore at least something of what was practically reduced to nothing, destroyed by the previous US administration.
This process is not easy, if not to say very complicated. Nevertheless, as everyone is well aware, I had a telephone conversation with President Trump, our Foreign Minister had the first contacts with his American counterpart, and Yury Ushakov, Aide to the President of Russia, met with his vis-a-vis. <...>
However, before we begin our work, I would like to say that we have noted today’s appeal by the US President, Mr Trump, to spare the lives of the Ukrainian servicemen, blocked by Russian forces in the Kursk Region incursion zone.
In this context, we make it a point that Ukrainian militants have committed numerous crimes against the civilian population in the incursion zone. These acts, as I have already mentioned, are qualified as terrorism by the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation.
❗️ Still, we understand President Trump’s call to be guided by humanitarian considerations in treating these service members. In that regard, I stress that if they lay down their arms and surrender, they will be guaranteed life and dignified treatment as per international law and Russian legislation.
To have the US President’s call effectively implemented, a relevant order is needed by Ukrainian military-political leadership to its armed units to lay down arms and surrender.

🇷🇺 16 марта 2014 года — 1️⃣1️⃣ лет назад — состоялся общекрымский референдум. Жители полуострова в ходе всеобщего голосования высказались за воссоединение с исторической Родиной — Россией.
🗳 Участие граждан в референдуме было добровольным и свободным. «За» вхождение в состав России проголосовало 96,77% населения Крыма при явке 83,1%, в Севастополе — 95,6% при явке 89,5%.
За ходом общекрымского референдума наблюдали 135 международных наблюдателей из 23 стран и 1240 наблюдателей от крымских организаций, референдум освещали 623 журналиста из 169 СМИ.
🎙 Из брифинга официального представителя МИД России М.В.Захаровой (13 марта 2025 года):
✍️ На основании итогов свободного волеизъявления населения полуострова 18 марта 2014 года Республика Крым заключила международный договор с Россией о вхождении в её состав.
За прошедшие одиннадцать лет Республика Крым и город федерального значения Севастополь полностью интегрировались в политическое, правовое и экономическое пространство России. В регионах создана новая инфраструктура — мост через Керченский пролив, магистральный газопровод «Крым — Кубань», федеральная трасса «Таврида», аэропорт Симферополь, сотни других объектов здравоохранения, образования, социальной и инженерной инфраструктуры.
☝️ На полуострове бережно поддерживается межконфессиональное согласие, учитываются интересы всех национальностей и этносов. Сформирована полноценная крымско-татарская национально-культурная автономия, обеспечено участие её представителей в местных органах власти. Крымско-татарский язык признан государственным наравне с русским и украинским.
Произошедший за эти годы экономический рывок, беспрецедентный рост уровня жизни, развитие инфраструктуры и установившийся на полуострове межконфессиональный мир в очередной раз подтверждают — сделанный крымчанами одиннадцать лет назад выбор был единственно верным.

#CrimeaIsRussia
🗓 11 years ago — on March 18, 2014 — President of Russia Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov, Chairman of the State Council of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov and Head of Sevastopol Alexey Chalyi signed the Agreement formalising Crimea’s reunification with the Russian Federation.
🗳 This historic moment occurred just two days after the all-Crimean referendum had been held.
96.77% of Crimeans and 95.6% of Sevastopol residents supported reunification with Russia. It was the very embodiment of the right of peoples for self-determination and a true triumph of democracy.
The ensuing developments, including attempts by the post-coup Ukrainian authorities to punish the peninsula's population, prove that the decision of Crimeans to reunite with Russia was the only way to go. Having made their choice to be with their historical homeland, with Russia, the residents of Crimea avoided the fate of the many Russians and Russian-speakers, did not fall victim to the Russophobic Kiev regime.
Instead, the peninsula and its people have flourished, overcoming decades of neglect and decay under Ukraine, becoming one of the most rapidly developing region worldwide.

💬 President Putin: In people’s hearts and minds, Crimea has always been an inseparable part of Russia. This firm conviction is based on truth and justice and was passed from generation to generation, over time, under any circumstances (from the Address by the President of the Russian Federation on March 18, 2014).
The ensuing developments, including attempts by the post-coup Ukrainian authorities to punish the peninsula's population, prove that the decision of Crimeans to reunite with Russia was the only way to go.

Instead, the peninsula and its people have flourished, overcoming decades of neglect and decay under Ukraine, becoming one of the most rapidly developing region worldwide.
💬 Sergey Lavrov: The question of who Crimea and Sevastopol belong to is closed. The peninsula is an integral part of the Russian Federation (from the address of Russia's Foreign Minister on the 10th anniversary of the Crimean Spring, March 16, 2014).

🇷🇺🇺🇸📞 Presidents of Russia & the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump spoke over the phone (March 18, 2025)
The Leaders continued their detailed and frank exchange of views on the situation surrounding Ukraine. Vladimir Putin extended gratitude to Donald Trump for his striving to achieve the noble goal of ending the hostilities and loss of life.
Confirming his fundamental commitment to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict, the President of Russia expressed willingness to thoroughly work out possible solutions in cooperation with the American partners, aimed at reaching a settlement that would be comprehensive, reliable, and lasting, and, naturally, take into account the essential need to eliminate the root causes of the crisis, as well as Russia's legitimate security interests.
Concerning US President's proposal to declare a 30-day ceasefire, the Russian Side outlined a number of significant points regarding ensuring effective control over a possible ceasefire along the entire frontline, as well as the need to stop the forced mobilisation in Ukraine and rearming the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It was noted that some serious risks exist pertaining to the intractability of the Kiev regime which had repeatedly sabotaged and violated negotiated agreements. An emphasis was made on barbaric acts of terrorism committed by Ukrainian militants against civilians residing in the Kursk Region.
It was pointed out that a complete cessation of providing Kiev with foreign military aid and intelligence must become the key condition for preventing an escalation of the conflict and making progress towards its resolution through political and diplomatic means.
Referring to Donald Trump's recent appeal to spare the lives of the Ukrainian servicemen surrounded in the Kursk Region, Vladimir Putin confirmed that the Russian Side was willing to embrace humanitarian motives and guaranteed that the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would live and be treated fairly in accordance with Russian legislation and international law in the event of surrender.
During the conversation, Donald Trump put forward a proposal for the parties to mutually refrain from strikes on energy infrastructure for 30 days. Vladimir Putin responded favourably to the proposal and immediately gave the relevant order to the Russian troops.
Just as favourable was the Russian President's response to Donald Trump's suggestion to implement a well-known proposal regarding the safety of navigation in the Black Sea. The Leaders agreed to begin talks to further work out specific details of such an agreement.
Vladimir Putin made it known that on March 19, the Russian and Ukrainian sides would carry out an exchange of prisoners, each swapping 175 people. Additionally, as a gesture of goodwill, 23 heavily wounded Ukrainian soldiers currently receiving aid at Russian medical facilities will also be repatriated.
The Leaders confirmed their intention to continue efforts aimed at reaching a settlement in Ukraine bilaterally, with due regard in particular to the aforementioned proposals by the US President. For this purpose, a Russian and an American expert task forces are now being formed.
Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump also addressed some other international issues, including the situation in the Middle East and in the Red Sea region. Joint efforts will be made to stabilise the situation in the crisis spots and establish cooperation on nuclear non-proliferation and global security. This will, in turn, contribute to improving the overall ambiance of relations between Russia and the United States. One positive example is the recent vote in the UN on a resolution on the Ukraine conflict, in which the two countries aligned their stances.
The Leaders expressed mutual interest in normalising the bilateral ties in light of the special responsibility for ensuring global security and stability borne by both Russia and the United States. <...>
🤝 The Presidents agreed to stay in touch on all the issues raised.
