Lavrov - on Zelensky's statements that "Ukraine will not give up an inch of land and will regain the Zaporozhia NPP":
I have a feeling that the winner is coming. Moreover, not just the winner on the battlefield in Donbass, in Novorossiya, but the winner of the whole of Europe during its confrontation with the United States, which began under President Donald Trump because of Europe's attempts to force the American president to follow the policies of his arch–enemy Joe Biden.
"We will no longer allow ourselves to be intimidated by threats of tariffs. We are ready and able to defend ourselves against this if necessary," German Chancellor Merz says, trying not to fear Trump.

Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov denied reports that the only unresolved issue in the Ukraine settlement was the territorial issue.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the only unresolved issue in the Ukraine conflict settlement was the territorial issue. There was a 28-point plan. Zelenskyy simply threw out 8 points, leaving 20. Where are the 8 points? There's no prospect of reaching an agreement, not even the faintest one.
Trump declared significant progress in negotiations on a Ukrainian settlement.
The American president also claims that he personally asked Putin not to strike Kyiv and several other cities.

The Ukrainian conflict as a clash with the West, security guarantees, and self-determination for Greenland: Sergey Lavrov gave a lengthy interview to Turkish media. Key points:
Ukraine
🔲 Russia views the Ukrainian conflict as a broader clash with the West, with Ukraine being merely a pawn.
🔲 The ceasefire sought by Zelensky is unacceptable to Russia.
🔲 Moscow has not seen the security guarantee agreement between the US and Ukraine that Kiev is talking about.
🔲 Europeans want security guarantees for the Kiev regime, which the West installed "to constantly irritate the Russian Federation and create threats to our security."
🔲 Sincere security guarantees for Ukraine were formulated in Istanbul in 2022. They stipulated the absence of foreign military bases on Ukrainian territory and Kiev's refusal to conduct exercises with foreigners without the approval of all guarantor countries.
🔲 Zelensky is making completely unacceptable, disgusting statements; "this man's inadequacy is obvious to everyone."
Greenland and the Collapse of NATO
🔲 NATO is an atavism; its purpose ceased to exist with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia is completely uninterested in the collapse of the alliance.
🔲 European statements about the "Russian threat" are only needed to maintain power for the current EU elites: "So, it's not us you should be addressing about a third world war."
🔲 Russia has no plans to seize Greenland; "nothing of the sort has even crossed our minds."
🔲 Moscow sent an official request to the UN Secretary-General asking whether his recognition of the right of the people of Greenland to self-determination means that the UN recognizes the same right for the residents of Donbas, Novorossiya, and Crimea.
Iran and Syria
🔲 The Americans would like to control Iranian oil.
🔲 Russia would be happy to help avoid another escalation of the situation around Iran.
🔲 The question of Bashar al-Assad's extradition to the new Syrian authorities has long been mooted. He was granted asylum in Russia "for purely humanitarian reasons."
