Holding a conference on Ukraine in Switzerland is a "road to nowhere," as Moscow does not see that the West is sincerely ready to engage in fair negotiations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
"That this is a road to nowhere, to put it mildly, is obvious to any normal political observer. Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin once again made our position clear and understandable during the meeting with Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko. I have nothing to add. We do not see any desire in Kiev or on the part of its masters to conduct business in a fair way," the top diplomat said at a press conference following the meeting of the Foreign Ministers' Council of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in Minsk.
"Instead of direct dialogue without any ultimatums, the West is imposing the so-called Copenhagen process, planning a conference in Switzerland, where, it is explicitly stated, they want to formulate, finalize the infamous 10 points of [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky's peace formula and then present it to Russia," the foreign minister said.
