Moscow says any Ukraine peace deal must ensure Russia's security

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday any peace deal on Ukraine must ensure Russia's security, speaking a day after high-level talks in Washington to resolve to conflict.
"Without respect for Russia's security interests, without full respect for the rights of Russians and Russian-speaking people who live in Ukraine, there can be no talk of any long-term agreements," Lavrov told state TV channel Rossiya 24.

He should tell Putin to stop trying to destroy Ukraine. Only when Ukraine has a functioning central government in all of its territory, including lands now occupied by Russia, can Ukraine guarantee the rights of all people lawfully present in Ukraine. War doesn't work miracles. Truth works.
