Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday urged Ukraine to accept his peace proposal «amicably» or refrain from having the Russian Army «deal with this issue».
«Russia’s proposals on demilitarization and denazification of Kiev-controlled lands and on elimination of security threats must be accepted in a ‘friendly manner’ or the Russian Army will deal with this issue,» the head of Russia’s diplomacy has asserted in an interview with TASS news agency.
According to Lavrov, Ukraine «is well aware» of Moscow’s proposals to end the war, which include among others «elimination of Russia’s security threats» allegedly coming from the Ukrainian territory.
In addition, the Russian peace proposal includes Russia taking control of its «new territories» in eastern Ukraine, which include Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporiyia. In referendums organized by the Kremlin in September, according to Russian data, 97 percent of voters supported annexation.
«There is little left to do: accept these proposals amicably. Otherwise, the Russian Army will deal with this issue,» Lavrov reiterated, as reported by the aforementioned agency.
LAVROV WARNS OF THE RISK OF A WAR BETWEEN NUCLEAR POWERS The Russian Foreign Minister has affirmed that the West is aiming at «the total moderation of Russia», a fact that he has described as «extremely dangerous» and which presents risks of a direct armed confrontation between nuclear powers.
According to Lavrov, the West is relentlessly exaggerating «with irresponsible speculation that Russia is allegedly on the verge of using nuclear weapons against Ukraine,» Tass reported.
«We are talking about absolutely different issues here: the West’s political course, which aims at total moderation of Russia, is extremely dangerous. It has downside risks of a direct armed clash of nuclear powers,» the head of Russian diplomacy has related.
The Russian foreign minister stressed that Moscow has been asserting «again and again» that there can be no winners in a nuclear war and that «it should never be unleashed».
«THE UNITED STATES PLANS TO ELIMINATE PUTIN».
Russia has reportedly accessed statements from «unidentified officials» at the U.S. Pentagon detailing U.S. government plans to inflict a «decapitation blow» on the Kremlin.
Specifically, according to Lavrov, they are said to have spoken of the «physical elimination» of the Russian head of state, Vladimir Putin.
«Washington went further: there, some ‘anonymous officials’ from the Pentagon threatened, in fact, to inflict a ‘decapitation coup’ on the Kremlin, in fact, we are talking about the threat of physical removal of the president of Russia. If someone really encourages such ideas, that someone should think very carefully about the possible consequences of such plans,» he reiterated, according to the agency.
