What Did Lavrov Say?

  • Russia will not return any territories to Ukraine.
  • Lavrov accused Ukrainian forces of committing atrocities worse than Nazi war crimes.
  • Any negotiations must exclude even the thought of territorial compromises.

Why Does This Matter?

  • This is a direct message to the West that Russia will not back down from its claims.
  • It reinforces Russia’s military strategy, making diplomatic solutions even less likely.
  • Lavrov’s statement suggests that negotiations with Kyiv are almost impossible, as Ukraine also refuses to give up any territory.

How Are Other Sides Reacting?

  • Kyiv firmly rejects territorial concessions and insists on restoring its 1991 borders.
  • Western allies of Ukraine maintain that Russia has no right to dictate terms, but pressure for negotiations is growing.
  • In Moscow, Lavrov’s statement is seen as a firm commitment to continue military operations.

What’s Next?

  • Peace talks remain unlikely, as both sides refuse to compromise.
  • The war is set to continue, with the West backing Ukraine and Russia escalating operations.
  • Negotiations in Riyadh, where the U.S. and Russia are discussing potential de-escalation, will now take place under hardened Russian positions.
