Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has sharply criticized Western Europe, alleging that leaders are deliberately “taking a pause” to prepare Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a new phase of war, even as Moscow and Washington attempt to build a long-term peace framework.
Speaking at the 10th Ambassadors' Roundtable in Moscow, Lavrov accused European capitals of fueling escalation instead of supporting genuine diplomacy. This LIVE coverage brings his full remarks, context, and global reactions as tensions rise once again.

00:00We welcome the actions undertaken by President Donald Trump.

00:07And most importantly, after the first phase of his initiative, people, the hostages were

00:12released and the bodies were returned to be buried in accordance with the religious traditions.

00:20Now we are all expecting the second phase of the settlement and given all the humanitarian

00:27nature of the plan, it does not provide for a solid, sustainable solution for the Palestinian

00:34issue in accordance with the UN resolutions, which does not inspire optimism.

00:41The Eurobureaucrats, as well as the majority of the members of the EU and NATO, are experiencing

00:48economic crisis.

00:50We see numerous speculations and destructive information campaigns and fakes.

00:58We believe that the main goal of such activities initiated by our Western colleagues is to exacerbate

01:07seeking the negotiation solution and to prolong the conflict.

01:12They are trying to downplay the initiatives of the United States and President Trump, which

01:20are truly aimed at finding an acceptable solution that would contribute to eliminating the root

01:28causes of the Ukrainian crisis.

01:31No one in Europe even mentions the root causes.

01:36The negotiations with the US President and his team are devoted to finding a long-term settlement

01:43solution and the elimination of the root causes of this crisis, while Western Europe, as seen

01:52from the statement by the German official that I have just quoted, only thinks about a ceasefire

02:00in order to take a pause and to prepare Zelensky and his regime to a new war against the Russian

02:08Federation, share the most recent piece of news with you.

02:15As reported, there have been contacts on the phone between President Trump, President Macron,

02:25Prime Minister Stammer, as well as Friedrich Merz, the official representative of the German

02:32government, a certain Mr. Cornelius, is making a public statement saying that the four heads of

02:39states and governments have discussed the ongoing negotiations regarding the ceasefire in Ukraine.

02:45Only a ceasefire.

02:47Europe is not concerned with anything else.

02:51While Russia insists that we need to achieve a package deal on a sustainable, long-term peace,

03:01with security guarantees for all the involved parties.

03:06Once again, that under the Biden administration, it was the United States that became the main sponsor

03:13of the Kyiv regime.

03:14And after the violent coup d'etat in February 2014, the well-known Adam Victoria Nuland, then-deputy

03:26secretary of state, speaking in the Senate, was proud to say that Ukraine is going through

03:33the right process.

03:35And this is why the US had invested $5 billion into the country, which, according to her, was

03:41the right decision in order to support the trance that they called a feast of democracy.

03:49But in essence, it was just a coup d'etat, a putsch.

03:54Following the coup d'etat in 2014, the Americans assumed control over the Ukrainian political

03:59and economic systems and continued pumping the Ukrainian neo-Nazis with additional weapons.

04:07This is what Donald Trump inherited.

04:10While we remember that one of his most important campaign slogans regarding foreign policy was

04:18stopping the Ukrainian conflict as soon as possible, and we would like to pay respects

04:23where it's due.

04:26After assuming his post, President Trump started working on this issue, and we believe that

04:30he has a sincere wish to find a solution through diplomatic means.

04:35We welcome such activities.

04:38Imagine what would have happened had the Germans, French, and the Polish complied with their promises

04:44and kept their word.

04:46Perhaps a civil war could be avoided.

04:50And the regime that came to power after the coup d'etat did unleash a civil war immediately

04:57after taking power.

04:59They started a conflict against millions of their own citizens who rejected the legitimacy

05:05of this regime.

05:09Keeping in mind that back then, 11 or almost 12 years ago, the West refused to keep its promises,

05:20but we have yet another answer showing the sincerity of the Western leaders to find a solution, of which

05:29there was none.

05:30Now, most importantly, until the very end, Russia was preferring the diplomatic solution.

05:37In December 2021, two months before the beginning of the special military operation, we were only

05:46seeking a peaceful diplomatic solution.

05:49We gave our proposals to the United States and NATO.

05:56This was a draft package of documents aimed at finding security guarantees on our Western track,

06:06and we suggested signing the legally binding agreements.

06:10However, the Americans and NATO rejected our proposals.

06:19Only when we realized that the West was going to provide a carte blanche to the Ukrainian nationalists

06:28for a forcible solution and suppression of those who rejected the coup d'etat, only then our President

06:35said that we had no other choice other than beginning the special military operation to protect

06:41the population of the southeast of Ukraine.

07:05How does that make a figure out that if they knew they were properly

07:07that should not be paid off by, and they passed the funding to the Colombian.

07:10Thank you so much.

07:12Thank you, Lill.

07:13My pleasure.

07:17You're welcome.

07:22I'll see you.

07:24I am glad me.

07:25I'll see you.

07:26I was glad to see you.

07:28You're good.

07:29I'm glad to see you.

07:31I'm glad to see you.

07:32I hope you guys are.

07:33You
