Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov criticizes Europe's role in Ukraine conflict

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a press conference on Russian diplomacy in 2025, where he made several statements about the war in Ukraine. He said Europe has missed its chance to play a meaningful role in finding a settlement for the conflict and claimed no one in the European coalition is genuinely working towards peace. Lavrov also argued that global rules have been discarded and stated that Russia will not allow anyone to ignore its own rights.
