Moscow will rely on its ‘missile diplomacy’.
We reported here on TGP about how Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky sent a public letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, ostensibly to ask for direct peace talks.
But upon closer examination, the letter was a puerile provocation, offending and trying to ridicule Putin, and was destined to try to claim the higher moral ground in terms of peace efforts.
Putin chose to respond not to Zelensky, but to the Russian soldiers: ‘rabotayte, brat’ya!’ (Work, brothers!)
Today (8), Russia’s Foreign Minister also criticized Zelensky’s PR move, labeling it rude.
Lavrov rejected the possibility of direct talks with Kiev, saying ‘guns will do the talking’.
Euronews reported:
“Sergey Lavrov specifically pointed out on Monday that Moscow is unhappy that the letter was ‘circulated around the world’, claiming that ‘polite people do not behave this way’.
Lavrov also claimed that for the Kremlin it ‘indicates that Ukraine has no interest in negotiation’.
[…] Russia’s foreign minister echoed Putin’s earlier statement that ‘it is not negotiations but the actions of those involved’ on the front lines of Russia’s war ‘that are crucial to the outcome’ of [the war].”
