Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, has spoken to reporters following his meeting with G20 foreign ministers today, APA reports citing the Guardian.

Lavrov said Russia is ready to negotiate with Ukraine and Turkiye about grain but it is unclear when such talks might take place.

Russia’s RIA news agency quotes Lavrov as saying: If [the west] wants not negotiations, but the victory of Ukraine over Russia on the battlefield, then, probably, there is simply nothing to talk about with the west, because with these approaches, in fact, it does not allow Ukraine to move on to the peace process.”
