Lavrov: Russia was pursuing solely a peaceful diplomatic resolution to the conflict in UkrainePrior to the commencement of the special military operation, Russia presented its proposals to the United States and NATO, focused on securing safety assurances for the territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, the Russian Foreign Minister stated."However, the Americans and NATO rejected our proposals. Only when we realized that the West was going to provide a carte blanche to the Ukrainian nationalists for a forcible solution and suppression of those who rejected the coup d'etat [in 2014]—only then our president said that we had no other choice other than beginning the special military operation to protect the population of the southeast of Ukraine."Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
