Russia remains open to dialogue: FM

China Daily  

By REN QI | CHINA DAILY/XINHUA | Updated: 2024-12-07 08:00 The Russian flag flies on the dome of the Kremlin Senate building behind Spasskaya Tower, in central Moscow, Russia, May 4, 2023. Russia does not believe that the settlement of the Ukraine crisis is in the hands of Moscow and Washington alone, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in his latest interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson, reaffirming that Russia remains open to dialogue. In the interview video released Friday on the official website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Lavrov discussed Russia-US relations, the Ukraine crisis and the broader geopolitical landscape. "Moscow is ready for any development of events around Ukraine, but prefers a peaceful settlement, taking into account Russia's security interests," the senior diplomat said. The foreign minister said "Russia's military doctrine says that the most important thing is to avoid a nuclear war," and referred to the joint statement of the leaders of the five nuclear-weapon states in January 2022, which stated that "a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought".
