"Western politicians have obviously studied poorly while in school and have not understood what Russia is. That is why they do not understand what they are saying when they comment on the 'defeat of Russia'". This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, quoted by RIA Novosti.

Russian Ambassador to Turkey Aleksei Erkhov has highlighted the importance of Turkey's mediation role between Ukraine and Russia, expressing hope that peace talks between the two warring parties will soon yield results.

Russia's foreign ministry has accused Israel of supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine and further exacerbated a dispute that began with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's words that Adolf Hitler was of Jewish descent.

We are already in the third month of Russia's murderous war against Ukraine that has proved disastrous for the entire world, and there is no end in sight.

On the contrary, the conflict is deepening and is tending to expand dangerously, to the point that one cannot rule out the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, an important mediator seeking an end to Russia's war against Ukraine, will visit Turkey on April 25 before heading to Moscow and later Kiev.

"The secretary-general will visit Ankara, where, on April 25, he will be received by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement on April 24.

Lavrov said that a new phase has been launched, but that Russian troops will target only Ukrainian military infrastructure.
He said that the goal was not to put pressure on the regime change in Kyiv.
"We do not plan to change the regime in Kyiv," Lavrov told foreign media.
