[ロンドン 20日 ロイター] –Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on the 20th that the Russian government’s military operations in Ukraine have exceeded the current effective control of the pro-Russian faction in the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, and revealed that it has expanded the goals of the war.

Russian President Sergey Lavrov said in a February invasion of Ukraine that he had no plans to occupy Ukrainian territory, but Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made a breakthrough in peace talks with Ukraine in late March. He pointed out that the situation changed after he could not open. “It is no longer just the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Lugansk People’s Republic (which are governed by pro-Russian factions), but also the (southern) Helson and Zaporozier regions, and many other regions,” he said. Clarified that it is doing.

In addition, he said that Western countries favored fighting rather than negotiations by Ukraine, and expressed the recognition that peace negotiations with Ukraine are meaningless at this time, and Western countries said that the high-mobility rocket artillery system “Hymers” against Ukraine. If we continue to supply such weapons, we warned that the geographical operation by the Russian army would “further expand from the current line.”

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kreva opposes Mr. Lavrov’s remarks. “Russian Foreign Minister confessed his dream of further robbing Ukraine’s territory, proving that Russia refused diplomacy and focused on war and acts of terrorism. Russia wants blood and talks. Not. “
