As the United States renews its diplomatic push to end Russia’s war against Ukraine, Moscow is making something clear: its position has not changed.
While U.S., Ukrainian, and Russian officials met for trilateral talks in January and again in early February — with another round expected next week — the Kremlin has used the same period to restate its position.
As Washington speaks of momentum and narrowing gaps, Russia’s most senior officials have publicly dismissed key elements of the proposed framework.
For three consecutive days, from Feb. 9 to Feb. 11, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov publicly undercut suggestions that negotiations were advancing.
His message was consistent and direct: Russia’s territorial and political demands remain intact, and any serious discussion must revolve around Ukraine accepting them.


No, Russia “wants” an end to the Empire proxy war and the legit Ukraine government that the Ukrainian people wanted to be restored. Not the current Nazi empire puppet put in place by the empire in 2014. Of course I wouldn’t expect anything less from an empire propaganda outlet
@lemmy.ml and already tagged as a tankie.
Damn, color me surprised!
I thought, at first, that this was particularly retarded satire, but…
No, just .ml things
🚨🚨TANKIE ALERT🚨🚨
Indeed, Putin is quite selflessly thinking of the Ukrainian people. That’s why he keeps killing them and destroying their heat and energy infrastructure in winter.
Plus all those children they abducted were going to grow up to be Nazis.
Oh look, a user from the extreme Zionist instance, how quaint
Ok buddy
Don’t be ridiculous, the US wants nothing to do with Ukraine https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/26/ukraine.usa
I had to look up what the “empire” is because I’m not familiar with Russian propaganda. It’s NATO and Western allies, and apparently they’re better at manipulating Ukrainian foreign policy than Russia is, so Russia’s only option is to go to war.
The denazification narrative always forgets Russia’s fascism
