Stunning Admissions In CFR Publication's "Hidden History" Of Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks

Russia says it is ready to enter peace negotiations with Ukraine, but not with President Zelensky as the country's leader, according to fresh statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Lavrov said in a Friday interview with state-run Sputnik that negotiations are "not just for show" which would make entering dialogue with Zelensky, who has long been propped up by the West, a "pointless" endeavor. "We are fully convinced that we need to continue the special military operation. We indicate our readiness for negotiations not just for show. This is indeed the truth, but talking to Zelensky is pointless for many reasons," he said.
