Lavrov Affirms Russia's Unwavering Goals in Ukraine to the West

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Russia has no intention of changing its goals in Ukraine and criticized Western diplomats for refusing to engage in honest conversations. Lavrov's remarks came during an international security conference in North Macedonia, where the top diplomats of Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania boycotted the event in protest. Participants accused Russia of undermining the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) with its war in Ukraine. Despite objections from Moscow, the OSCE's activities were saved, and Malta will assume the presidency on January 1.

Lavrov's UN Meeting on Peace Draws Criticism from Western Diplomats.

Western diplomats criticized Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov for his country's unprovoked assault on Ukraine during a UN Security Council meeting hosted by Lavrov. The meeting was titled "Maintenance of international peace and security," and Lavrov was in charge because Russia currently holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council. UN ambassadors for the US, UK, and Switzerland all used their speeches to condemn Russia's invasion. Lavrov launched into a tirade of unsubstantiated accusations against Ukraine and its western allies, blaming the conflict on them.

Russia accuses Western diplomats of interfering in dissident's case.

Russia summoned the US, British, and Canadian ambassadors for condemning the conviction of opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza on treason charges. The Russian Foreign Ministry accused the three ambassadors of "crude interference in Russia's internal affairs and activity incompatible with their diplomatic status". Kara-Murza had lobbied Western governments for sanctions against Russia and condemned Moscow's "special military operation" in Ukraine. The foreign ministry called the British ambassador's remarks "inappropriate" and "provocative" and said they ran counter to diplomatic norms.
