Sergei Lavrov

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed his dissatisfaction with the position Greece has taken in relation to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, through the Russian embassy in Athens.

It said senior Kremlin officials continue to hold high-level meetings with the Belarusian leadership.
By doing so, they could create the conditions for a major Russian attack on Ukraine from Belarus, but that, they add, is unlikely to happen in the coming weeks.

The European Union has frozen Russian assets worth around 17 billion euros since Moscow invaded Ukraine, EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said in an interview.     

The figure has risen from the roughly 13.8 billion euros ($13.75 billion) "from oligarchs and other entities" that Reynders announced in July that the EU had frozen, mainly in five countries.    

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said yesterday that Moscow would not reject that meeting.
Asked whether he would meet Putin at next month's Group of 20 summit in Indonesia, Biden said he didn't see a good reason for a sit-down.

Türkiye on Oct. 11 called for a ceasefire in Ukraine ahead of a meeting between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in the Kazakh capital Astana.

"A ceasefire must be established as soon as possible. The sooner the better," Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said in an interview with the TVnet broadcaster.

Azerbaijani media reported that Baku and Yerevan agreed on a cease-fire in the new conflict as of 09:00 local time today. "A ceasefire agreement was reached between Armenia and Azerbaijan starting today at 09:00 a.m. local time," Sputnik Azerbaijan reported, referring to its sources, according to the Russian agency.

"Germany crossed a red line, which it should not have crossed, when it started supplying Ukraine with lethal weapons of its own production", stated Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev in an interview for "Izvestia".

That message from Moscow comes after the recent criticism of Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Zorana Mihajlovic against Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Just to recall, after the conversation between the Serbian Minister of the Interior Aleksandar Vulin and Lavrov in Moscow, Mihajlovic recently stated:

Tatar President Rustam Minnikhanov, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and youth ministers from more than 20 countries assembled on Aug. 27 for the Kazan Global Youth Summit, an international program under the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Youth Capital 2022.

The Czech government hopes to have a windfall profit tax ready to roll out at the start of 2023, a senior official suggested this week.
