Podolyak reacted to Lavrov's fantasies about sanctions/Channel 24 collage
Only Ukraine and its partners can decide on sanctions. But the Russians have too much distance between facts and fantasies on this topic.
Mikhail Podolyak has never seen Sergey Lavrov at the negotiating table. He said this in a commentary on Channel 24.
Despite this, Lavrov states that, among other issues, Russia and Ukraine are discussing the lifting of sanctions.
How can Lavrov comment on something that is not participates
Podolyak himself did not miss a single round of negotiations. Therefore, he wondered why Lavrov so loves to comment on what he does not participate in.
“Denazification and the Russian language” the Russian army quite specifically “discussed” with the Ukrainians in Bucha, Gostomel , Kharkov, Volnovakha and, of course, in Mariupol. And all the relevant conclusions are forever inscribed in history with the blood of innocent Ukrainian citizens,” the official stressed.
Sanctions are not a topic of negotiations between delegations
The adviser noted that within the framework of the negotiation process they do not discuss issues at all global international sanctions against Russia. This is because the reasons for their implementation by the world community have not yet been eliminated. The aggressor did not withdraw its troops and did not liberate the occupied territories.
Only we decide when to lift sanctions
It is clear that sanctions cannot be discussed without the participation of partners.
” It is for all our partners, together with Ukraine, to decide when and what decisions on sanctions to take,” Podolyak concluded.
