Russia’s Lavrov warns of ‘real’ danger of World War III

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that peace talks with Ukraine would continue, while warning there was a “real” danger of a World War III.

Speaking to Russian news agencies, he criticised Kyiv’s approach to the talks, adding: “Good will has its limits. But if it isn’t reciprocal, that doesn’t help the negotiation process.

“But we are continuing to engage in negotiations with the team delegated by (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelensky, and these contacts will go on.”

But Lavrov accused former actor Zelensky of “pretending” to negotiate.

“He’s a good actor,” he said.

But he added: “If you watch attentively and read attentively what he says, you’ll find a thousand contradictions.”
