【Russian Foreign Minister: Russia is willing to help its Iranian friends get out of the crisis】
Moscow time December 17, 2025, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a joint press conference after talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:
Russia once again confirms its willingness to help its Iranian friends find acceptable solutions to the crisis in the nuclear sanctions created by the West. Representatives of Western European countries have bypassed all possible agreements and the norms introduced by the UN Security Council, and have made every effort to try to restore the UN sanctions against Iran, even though these sanctions have long been ineffective.
Lavrov added:
We condemn the disregard for law and international law, and we condemn placing our own interests above the principles of the UN Charter. The UN Secretary-General also hopes that he can clearly realize that he has been dragged into a trap and will not allow his power to be used to implement the selfish and illegal plans of Western countries.
