He rejected the possibility of transmission of the ZPP. New statements Lavrov cross out the proposals of a peace agreement by Trump – isw

This is stated in the new report by the Institute of War Study.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized Russia’s long-standing position against any form of territorial concessions in Ukraine, which undermines the efforts of President Donald Trump to reach a long peace, The ISW analysts state. Lavrov said in an interview with CBS News, which was aired on April 27 that “Russia is not negotiating on its territory” when he was asked about the status of Russia occupied by Russia in current negotiations. “I do not think that any changes are possible,” Lavrov said in response to the question of whether the Kremlin is ready to consider the transfer of control over the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant (ZPP), which Russia occupies now. As previously reported, this is one of the seven conditions in terms of the end of the war proposed by the Trump administration.

In view of these words Lavrov in ISW ​​remind that Russia has approved amendments to the constitution that have been fixed [юридично нікчемне] decision “To proclaim ”Crimea, Kherson, Zaporizhia, Donetsk and Luhansk regions allegedly “territories of Russia. ” Therefore, since then emphasizing the analysts of the Institute of War Study, Moscow is entrusted “On a pseudo -law base, “according to which the Ukrainian territories are now allegedly part of Russia” constitutionally “. In doing so, Russia argues its rejection of compromises on the issue of Ukraine’s transfer of any territories in the Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions occupied by Russia, as well as Crimea in the framework of the peace agreement on the end of the war.

Russian officials also use this pseudo -law base to demand Ukraine to transfer additional territories within Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions, which Russia does not occupy. The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova also stated that Russian troops were claiming the capture of all “territory of Russia ”, which, she said, includes Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions.

The ISW emphasizes that these new statements of Lavrov and other Russian officials are directly contrary to the Trump administration based on the Peace Agreement, which includes mutual territorial concessions, including the return of territories in Kharkiv region and ZPP. Analysts continue to state that Ukraine remains open to conscientious dialogue with Russia and is ready to consider territorial issues, while Russia does not make any concessions on its part and insists on conditions equivalent to Ukraine.
