BREAKING: Russia to Meet UK, France, Germany Envoys, Reacts to Merz ‘Defeat Russia’ Comment

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia will meet with ambassadors from the United Kingdom, France and Germany at the Foreign Ministry after the envoys requested talks, but added that Moscow expects little progress. Lavrov accused Western leaders of using offensive rhetoric against Russia and said Europe had missed earlier opportunities to resolve the Ukraine conflict. He also criticised remarks attributed to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and alleged that Western positions effectively amount to demands for Russia’s capitulation, while reaffirming that Moscow will still listen to what the diplomats have to say. #russia, #ukraine, #lavrov, #moscow, #eu, #uk, #france, #germany, #diplomacy, #breakingnews, #worldnews, #russiaukrainewar, #kremlin, #foreignpolicy, #geopolitics, #ukrainewar, #nato, #europe, #peace, #latestnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
