UK foreign secretary questions Russia’s ‘appetite’ for peace at South Africa G20 meeting
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated that he sees no desire for peace from Russia in Ukraine. This assessment came after listening to a speech by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a tense G20 meeting in South Africa. Lammy shared his observations with reporters following a closed-door session where Lavrov addressed senior diplomats.
Lammy noted that Lavrov left the room when it was his turn to speak at the G20 meeting. This gathering occurred shortly after bilateral talks between the US and Russia regarding the war in Ukraine, talks that excluded key European allies and Ukraine itself. Against this backdrop, former US President Donald Trump has criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and falsely blamed Ukraine for the Russian invasion, further complicating the West's unified stance as the war approaches its third anniversary.
