【Lavrov: Russia prefers to resolve the Ukraine conflict through diplomatic means】

On November 25, 2025, Moscow time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with the "France-Russia Dialogue Association" YouTube channel:

Too many incomprehensible things are happening. Subsequently, Zelenskyy in Istanbul stated that he is ready to discuss the plan and reach an agreement on acceptable wording. His representatives (including the Ukrainian Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations) said it is absolutely impossible. I find it difficult to comment on these speculations. We are still in a situation that certainly tends more towards a diplomatic solution.
