“Either Ukraine fulfills Russia’s conditions or the military will decide,” Lavrov says

(Reuters) – Moscow’s proposals for the “demilitarization” and “denazification” of Ukraine are known in Kyiv and it is up to the Ukrainian authorities to respond to them, the Russian foreign minister said, adding that in otherwise, the Russian army would undertake to decide the question.

“Our proposals for the demilitarization and denazification of the territories controlled by the regime, to end the threats to the security of Russia emanating from (these territories), in particular against our new provinces, are well known to the enemy”, reported the official Russian news agency, citing Sergey Lavrov.

“(Our conditions) are simple: Fulfill them or the Russian military will decide the matter.”
