According to Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Russia remains willing to conclude an agreement with Ukraine under certain conditions. “Our position remains the same: we are ready to reach an agreement, provided the current situation on the ground is taken into account,” Lavrov said. In addition, Russian security interests must be taken into account.
One of these was the need to “prevent the establishment of a hostile Nazi regime near Russia’s borders.” According to TASS, Lavrov had already said that the longer Kiev postponed talks with Moscow, the more difficult an agreement would become.
Before possible negotiations, Moscow insists, among other things, that Ukraine relinquishes its territories occupied by Russian troops. Ukraine firmly rejects this.

Dead and wounded in Kherson
Meanwhile, the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson was once again the target of Russian attacks. A 41-year-old man was killed in the city of Kherson, military governor Olexander Prokudin said on Telegram. Another man was injured. Not far from the city of Beryslaw, air raids by the Russian army also took place, it was said. In recent days, civilians have been repeatedly killed or injured by shelling in the region, part of which is still occupied by Russian forces.
“Today Russia is bombing Kherson, Beryslav and villages in the Kherson region with particular ferocity,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening video address. “This is deliberate terror on the part of the occupiers.”
