MOSCOW, Dec 1 — Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today that the West had a real chance to avoid conflict in Ukraine, but had chosen to spurn Russian proposals to halt the expansion of Nato and agree a special security status for Kyiv.
Lavrov made the comments during a news conference in Moscow.
The West says Russia’s proposals made in the run-up to the Ukraine war were unrealistic and insincere. — Reuters
