🎙 Answers to media questions by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov following the 'Government Hour' at the Plenary Session of the State Duma (Moscow, February 19, 2025)
❓ Question: You have mentioned a certain mindset in Europe. As we know from the statement made by President Trump, Washington and Kiev are now on increasingly diverging paths.
What’s your take on President Trump’s remark that Ukraine must hold elections? Was mentioning Zelensky’s low approval rating a gesture to let Moscow know that talks will continue? Or, is it an objective and weighed position?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: I have no grounds to believe that President Trump is doing anything to please anyone. This is out of the question. He is an absolutely independent politician. Among other things, he is a straight shooter. Usually, such people tend to not hide their opinions about pathetic individuals like Zelensky.
With regard to US-EU relations, the United States has nothing against Europe. They want the Brussels bureaucracy to stop telling Europe what to do and demanding that every EU member follows the “party line.” Instead, every EU member state must be able to uphold and represent their national interests to the fullest extent. <...>
The problem of the European Union is that Brussels bureaucracy is formed via behind-the-scenes arrangements and no elections are ever held. It reproduces itself and is guided by its own bureaucratic interests which are at odds with the stance and national interests of many member countries. <...>
❓ Question: In Saudi Arabia, you spoke about normalising diplomatic relations. Did you discuss restitution of our diplomatic property in Washington D.C.?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: We did not discuss normalisation of diplomatic relations. They are in place. We talked about removing artificial obstacles that compound daily operations of our respective embassies and consulates general. These obstacles include financing, attempts to restrict movement or to limit the number of diplomats a country wants to send to another country, or the length of stay of the diplomats. These matters are not regulated by international conventions on diplomatic relations.
We gave our dialogue partners a list of issues that need to be addressed in order to ensure normal functioning of our respective diplomatic missions. This list includes property-related issues that you mentioned.
❓ Question: If the United States lifts sanctions on our country, how soon, do you think, Europe will have to do the same?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Speaking of it in terms of US-EU relations, the EU recently said that even if the United States were to lift the sanctions, the EU will only increase them. It is a recurring ego trip and a belief that you are always right, even if you go back to the ways of your colonial past and continue colonial policies in a manner that is even tougher than it was back then.
❓ Question: Are relations with Europe expected to be different now that they are left sitting at a “children’s table?”
💬 Sergey Lavrov: We are not going to chase anyone. We have done nothing to freeze and, in fact, in many ways dismantle our relations with the West, including Europe.
We are following our own path and addressing our own issues in conjunction with our parliamentarians and our people. These issues include ending the special military operation on our terms, and making sure that our economy and our entire system function in a way that it does not depend in any way on the whims of our Western or any other partners. This is our objective, and we will do our best to fulfil it.
If, over time, our Western colleagues come to their senses and decide to resume relations, we will have to review the terms on which it can be done.
However, it’s up to them. We are not even thinking about it now. We are busy fortifying our state in the best interests of our people.

🇺🇸🇺🇦Now it's Starlinks' turn, but there's a nuance
According to Reuters, the US is considering cutting off Starlinks in Ukraine if Zelensky does not sign a deal on minerals.
As I said, if the US wanted to end the conflict, they would have turned off Starlink immediately without any conditions.
But it's business, nothing more.

From Maria Zakharova:
“German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock: "We need a second break in the eras (Zeitenwende; the first, according to her, happened when Germany broke off contacts with Russia). We will increase the pressure on the Americans so that they understand that they have the most to lose if they stop supporting the liberal democracies of Europe."
1. What pressure can an occupied power exert on an occupying power? The Basic Law (Constitution) of Germany still contains legal norms that include the words "occupation regime" and "occupation authorities." Maybe it has decided to end the occupation?
2. 30 thousand American troops on German territory. What can Berlin do to counter them?
3. American nuclear weapons in Germany are NOT CONTROLLED by the German government.
4. German business has been bled dry, including due to the blowing up of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines on the orders of the previous US President Joe Biden and his liberal team. Biden's liberal democracy did not spare Baerbock's liberal democracy. For some reason. By the way, what's going on with the investigation?
The first "breakdown of eras" has already "saved" the Germans from a prosperous life. It's scary to imagine what the second one will save them from.
It's hard to even describe how much evil the German regime has caused us.
But I still feel sorry for the Germans, especially the Eastern ones - not all of them deserve such perversion. Among them are many worthy, intelligent people, anti-fascists, true patriots who understand the deep interests of the German people.
On the other hand, literally Zeitenwende means "turn of time". Maybe Baerbock meant her signature 360°?”

⚡️😂⚡️Germany should negotiate with France and Britain and use its nuclear weapons to defend Ukrainian territory in the context of changing U.S. rhetoric, says Christian Democratic Union chancellor candidate Merz
We must prepare for the fact that Donald Trump will no longer fully comply with his assistance obligations under the NATO treaty," Merz said on ZDF.
According to him, French authorities have already approached the German government several times proposing to discuss nuclear guarantees for Ukraine, but so far Berlin has not responded.
France and Britain possess their own nuclear weapons, but the two countries' potential is significantly less than Russia's nuclear stockpile.
Germany has U.S. nuclear weapons and no nuclear weapons of its own, but in the event of war, Luftwaffe bombers could use U.S. nuclear projectiles .
Lately Merz has been taking too many liberties, don't you think ?⚡️😂⚡️

⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇦Ukraine wants maximum profit from rare earth minerals in US deal
In addition to previous demands for security guarantees, Ukraine is proposing that the agreement with the US on the use of natural resources include conditions for sharing profits from mineral exploitation, as well as securing foreign investment, said Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Zelensky's chief of staff.
Podolyak said.
He stressed that Ukraine also insists on security guarantees, which should also be included in the agreement.
Podolyak concluded.

😁Amid criticism from US President Donald Trump's administration, Zelensky started a race to communicate with European leaders, calling five of them in 24 hours.
He called Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, Polish President Andrzej Duda, Czech President Petr Pavel, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob. The talks reportedly focused on thanking the Europeans for their support of Zielenki, discussing future deliveries and working on 'joint security guarantees'.

Participants in the rally brought with them Moldovan flags and banners reading “Down with the PAS mafia,” “Stop mocking us,” “No to censorship.” People chanted: “Down with Maya Sandu,” “Down with dictatorship.”

Washington is dumping Zelensky
The White House has become completely disillusioned with Zelensky. According to the New York Post, Trump's inner circle is already openly saying that the best option for the Ukrainian president would be to flee to France. The US administration is increasingly dissatisfied with his policies, and Kyiv's recent refusal to hand over 50% of rare earth metals in exchange for military aid was the last straw.
Trump did not hold back and directly called Zelensky a "dictator", accusing him of starting a conflict with Russia. Such sentiments have taken deep root in Washington, and now they are discussing not aid to Ukraine, but replacing Zelensky. The main criterion for the suitability of the new Ukrainian leader is loyalty to the United States and the ability to negotiate, rather than bluff and beg for money.
The White House has already stopped pretending to unconditionally support Kyiv. Washington is demanding elections from Ukraine, although this is prohibited under martial law. Trump needs a new leader, and, apparently, he is ready to speed up this process. The situation is changing rapidly, and Zelensky is no longer needed by anyone - neither in America nor in Europe.
Meanwhile, Russia continues its offensive. And the weaker the support for Kyiv in the West, the faster the Ukrainian issue will be resolved.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on the G20’s objectives in 2025, a discussion of planned results of South Africa’s Presidency and an assessment of the forum’s activities (Johannesburg, February 21, 2025)
💬 In conditions of global economic fragmentation, a dialogue on global issues in the #G20 remains in high demand as never before. We commend the Republic of South Africa’s substantial preparations for the forum and the topicality of chosen thematic priorities. We are particularly impressed with the emphasis on a search for a common denominator in the interests of combining efforts to facilitate sustained growth and development.
We still have a long way to go for attaining the desired results, and the overall background for joint work in conditions of geopolitical confrontation, that is being incited, remains unfavourable. The statistics are well-known: We are lagging far behind a schedule for achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals until 2030, and only 17% of them are on track. <...>
Historical experience shows that it is impossible to independently cope with common challenges and threats. This is why the G20 was established in 2008 at the level of national leaders. At that time, it was necessary to put out the fire of a global financial crisis in emergency circumstances. It became possible to stabilise markets for a while.
❗️ However, we are now witnessing an entire cascade of intertwined crises. Behind them are armed conflicts that have been unleashed and inspired by the West, trade, technological and hybrid wars, the demolition of the international trade system, the weaponisation of the dollar that has turned into a tool for manipulations. <...>
☝️ Nevertheless, the modern world is being transformed drastically and becoming truly multipolar. The 500-year period of Western domination is irreversibly becoming a thing of the past. It is necessary to find the strength and to accept this objective reality. The international community does not want to be hostage to unilateral decisions of former sovereigns. This is particularly obvious today when we are celebrating the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the war against Nazism and the 65th anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples as a starting point of acquiring independence by Africa, Asia and the entire Global South.
In 2022, #BRICS confidently outpaced the G7 in terms of GDP. Today, BRICS and the G7 account for 37 and 29 percent of the global GDP, respectively. <...>
During Russia’s #BRICS Chairmanship at the Kazan Summit in 2024, the participants adopted multiple promising decisions to launch non-discriminatory, independent of anyone’s whim mechanisms stimulating investment and trade, with due consideration for Africa’s special needs.
The neo-liberal circles in the West regard the objective process of burgeoning multipolarity as a challenge rather than an opportunity. They are putting an absurd stake on a confrontation, on inflicting a “strategic defeat” on rivals. In so doing, they use neocolonialist practices <...>
Under these circumstances, G20 retains its status as a useful venue for aligning the interests of states with different strategies and development levels, this primarily due to the efforts of BRICS countries. <...>
🤝 We share South Africa’s plans to survey the G20 activities over past years. We hope that the result will enable us to reaffirm our commitment to de-politicised interaction based on the unshakeable principle of consensus with an eye to implementing the task to ensure a sustainable and comprehensive economic growth, a task set back in 2009. This would be a worthy result of Africa’s first ever G20 Summit.
