From Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions following the G20 Summit (November 19, 2024): Foreign Minister, I’d like to ask what is Russia’s view on the Brazilian-Chinese initiative of trying to foster a group of countries to discuss a peace process in Ukraine. We are seeing an escalation in Ukraine with the decision of the US to allow the use of long-range missiles to hit Russian territory.
