The head of Russian diplomacy, Sergei Lavrov, warned this “real” danger of a third world war on Monday, April 25.
While accusing Ukraine of “pretending” to discuss, he warned against the risk of seeing the world switch to a world war.
“Good will has its limits. And if it is not reciprocal, this does not contribute to the negotiation process, “said Lavrov, quoted by Russian press agencies. “But we continue to carry out negotiations with the team delegated by Zelensky, and these contacts will continue,” he said.
Russia has announced, in this context of tension, the expulsion of 40 German diplomats, in retaliation for a similar measure taken recently by Germany. A “not justified” decision, according to Berlin.
