11 February, 15:28

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Russia is prepared to compromise in negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine.

He said this in an interview, as reported by Hromadske.

"We are always open to compromises, or, simply put, finding a balance of interests. The most important thing is that the legitimate interests of each state are considered," Lavrov stated.

However, he emphasized that compromises cannot involve "key, fundamental principles on which a state's existence depends, and most importantly, the lives of millions of people."

Specifically, Lavrov highlighted concerns regarding "Russia's security" and the alleged "destruction of the Russian language and the Orthodox Church." He mentioned that the Russian delegation raised these issues during the negotiations in Abu Dhabi.

Additionally, Lavrov asserted that the objectives of the Russian occupation forces "remain unchanged and are not subject to any opportunistic compromises."
