Talks with Kuleba mostly about humanitarian issues - Lavrov10 Mar 2022 10:33
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday that the talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba in Turkey mostly revolved around humanitarian issues, including evacuation corridors.
During a press conference, Lavrov accused the West of spreading false information about Moscow's intervention in Ukraine, adding that the alleged bombing of a maternity hospital in Mariupol was justified by the fact that it was the base of a Ukrainian military unit. Responding to a question regarding the possibility of a ceasefire, Lavrov briefly stated that his delegation "reminded" the other side of Russia's conditions.
Russia's top diplomat also vowed that Moscow will try to decrease the extent of its dependence on the western economies in the future.
