“The only hope lies in your own truth and the actions you take in real life to ensure that truth prevails. Our truth is not subject to changes, turns, or opportunistic shifts,” Lavrov commented.

The head of Russian diplomacy told the Empathy Manuchi online project that President Vladimir Putin has clearly defined the objectives of the special military operation.

The diplomat added that these goals remain unchanged and are not subject to temporary considerations.

The foreign minister emphasized, “Compromises are always possible when several States, even two, reach an agreement. We are always willing to make compromises, said simply, a balance of interests. The most important thing is that the legitimate interests of each State are taken into account.”

Lavrov stated that Russia’s legitimate interest lies in guaranteeing its own security, as any normal country would desire, interested in continuing its history and the development of its people under the most favorable external conditions possible, and ensuring economic growth, the resolution of social issues, and the improvement of the population’s well-being.
