FM Sergey Lavrov’s comments: Forum of the Future 2050

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the Forum of the Future 2050.

The best diplomats in the Ukrainian conflict are Russian soldiers on the front line, they are fighting for the truth and honor of people;

There is new information and context in Lavov’s remarks and I encourage you to take a listen. Plan B did not exist. It was always Plan A, War, as we’ve said a number of times. The core objective of the Ukraine war (SMO morphing to CTO) was and is carrying out a Russian grab and own Russia and its people and its resources. The context becomes clear with Lavrov’s remarks.

Here is a summary but this one needs to be heard or the transcript when ready, should be read.

Key statements of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the Forum of the Future 2050:

• 🔹The special operation in Ukraine will continue, but at the same time Russia is ready for diplomatic measures;
• 🔹The results of the special military operations achieved on the ground will one day be formalized in the form of legal documents;
• 🔹The best diplomats in the Ukrainian conflict are Russian soldiers on the front line, they are fighting for the truth and honor of people;
• 🔹Russia will do everything to suppress the risk of a growing terrorist threat from Ukraine;
• 🔹The lack of an investigation into the 2014 Odesa clashes is a disgrace to the Council of Europe;
• 🔹Russia will be ready to resume negotiations with the US on strategic stability when the discussion is equal;
• 🔹Russia has a more stable relationship with the Trump administration than it had with the Biden administration.

Last night, Ukraine burnt! The Russian Armed Forces launched a massive high-precision strike by long-range air-to-surface weapons on one of the AFU tactical aviation airfields near Dubno in Rovno region. The attack was one of the retaliatory strikes in response to the terrorist attacks conducted by the Kiev regime on Russian military airfields.

In addition, the high-precision strike by long-range air-to-surface weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles struck enterprises producing weapons and military hardware, assembly workshops for attack drones as well as ammunition, weapons, and military hardware depots of the AFU.

✅ The goal of the strike was achieved. All assigned targets were hit.
