Lavrov on Europe wanting only a show with Zelensky:

Lavrov on Europe wanting only a show with Zelensky: Europe is substituting all the concepts that are usually present in settlement processes; they demand a ceasefire, while Zelensky makes everyone also touch on the topic of negotiations and immediately a meeting without preconditions. The calculation is only to play another circus act and show how Zelensky, so brave in camouflage with a beard, starts to teach President Putin or someone else a lesson; it is important for him to shine on stage. We cannot go along with this - the president said that the meeting will only take place with good preparation. Source: Slavyangrad
