In an interview, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Russia desires a friendly Ukraine, not necessarily an ally, but a neutral and benign state. He emphasized the importance of respecting the fundamental rights of the people in Ukraine, including access to basic necessities such as water, food, and warmth, as well as rights related to language, education, and religion. Lavrov reiterated that Russia's priority in the Ukrainian conflict is not territory, but the well-being of the people living in these areas, especially those who speak Russian. He also criticized the peace plan of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, mentioning that it does not address the restoration of the rights of ethnic minorities and religious freedoms, which are protected by the UN Charter. Lavrov emphasized that these freedoms should not be negotiated.
