Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told RIA Novosti and Rossiya 24 TV channel in an interview on Thursday that the "peace formula" proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a "figment of a sick imagination."
He noted that ten days ago a meeting on this peace plan was held in complete secrecy with the participation of Western countries and some countries of the global South, adding that "some [countries] refused the invitation, but it was held in complete secrecy, nothing about it was reported anywhere, no leaks were allowed."
At the same time, Lavrov said close allied countries had promised Moscow not to keep any secrets coming from these discussions "on the issue that has to do with Russia."
