Moscow, Feb 25: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that Moscow would be ready to hold talks with Kyiv, but only once Ukraine’s military had laid down its arms.
“Russian President took the decision to conduct a special military operation to demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine so that, freed from oppression, Ukrainians themselves could freely determine the future,” said Lavrov at a press conference.

“we are ready for negotiations at any moment, as soon as the armed forces of Ukraine respond to our call and lay down their arms,” said Lavrov.
