Lavrov clarified, however, that before negotiating “security guarantees” with Ukraine, The threats to Russia’s security posed by NATO expansion will have to be “liquidated.” For Lavrov, Ukraine was used by the European Union (EU) “to weaken Russia.”
The security of Russia, eastern Ukraine and the Eurasian context
Regarding future security negotiations to be carried out with the EU, Lavrov assured that “the Eurasian context will be dominant.” The EU cannot ignore “giants like China, India and Russia” and the Asia-Pacific.
The European continent bloc has been one of Ukraine’s main supporters in its war with Russia. It has sanctioned several officials of Vladimir Putin’s government, including Lavrov himself, sanctioned in 2022 “for his active support of actions that undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine,” according to the definition of the European Commission.
This situation has not changed the position of Russia until now, which continues to claim part of eastern Ukraine, occupied since 2022.. Lavrov stated that “part of that country”, referring to Crimea, Donbas and the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions have already made the decision to join the Eurasian continent.
