Quote: "We will no longer believe the West that it wants negotiated solutions. This reserve of goodwill and hope has been exhausted entirely."

Details: According to Lavrov, the West is allegedly simulating readiness for negotiations on Ukraine while "now openly beginning to issue ultimatums to Russia".

Background:

• NATO member state leaders at the 7-8 July summit agreed that in 2026-2027 the Alliance will provide Ukraine with military support worth at least €140 billion.
• On 8 July, US President Donald Trump, during a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, said America will grant Ukraine the right to produce Patriot missiles.
• Trump also said that Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian refineries represent an escalation capable of leading to the end of the war.
