The Evening with Vladimir Solovyov programme on the Rossiya 1 TV channel is usually an hour long. What the MFA has provided is deemed an excerpt with the accompanying video lasting 24.5-minutes, which of course is better than nothing. IMO, what’s important is the indignation of the interviewer whose program is one of the most popular in Russia. Lavrov mostly reviews the relevant history but does give one very short answer that doesn’t prompt any response, which I find odd. So, here’s the Q&A discussion with all emphasis being mine:
Former Russian President and PM Dmitry Medvedev's comment/ riposte to the latest edition of the Zelensky Formula was posted to his Telegram, https://t.me/s/medvedev_telegram Lavrov he is not, but his formula is novel:
On the "peace formula" of the Kiev Nazis, the Swiss "peace conferences" and the real basis of the negotiations
When I hear the expression "Zelensky's peace formula", I experience an irresistible sense of disgust, which quickly turns into a sense of shame from the bad surrealism of what is happening. After all, everyone understands perfectly well, including the ragged Western liars, that even in much simpler situations during a war, peace can be achieved either if there is a mutual will of the parties on the basis of a reasonable compromise, or through the capitulation of one of the parties to the conflict.
The will of the so-called former Ukraine to negotiate is not visible. In any case, on the basis of recognising the realities, as Vladimir Putin said yesterday. For them, reality is the brain-clue's "formula for peace" of a provincial clown in a green leotard. And nothing else. It looks so artificial that the only way out is to construct your own, Russian formula, calm and quite realistic. Humane for all.
What? And for example, this one:
1. Recognition of the ex (hereinafter referred to as b.) "Ukraine" defeats in the military component of the conflict. Complete and unconditional surrender of the former "Ukraine" in the person of the neo-Nazi clique in Kiev. Demilitarization of the former "Ukraine" and a ban on the creation of paramilitary formations on its territories in the future.
2. Recognition by the international community of the Nazi character of the former Kiev political regime and the implementation of the forced denazification of all the authorities of the former "Ukraine" under the control of the UN.
3. The UN acknowledges that Ukraine has lost its international legal personality and that it is impossible for any of its successors to enter into military alliances without Russia's consent.
4. Resignation of all constitutional authorities of the former "Ukraine" and immediate holding of elections to the provisional parliament of the self-governing territory of the former "Ukraine" under the auspices of the UN.
5. Adoption by the interim parliament of laws on the payment of all due compensations to Russia, including payments to the relatives of the deceased citizens of our country and payments for damage to the health of the wounded. Establishing a procedure for reimbursement of property damage caused to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
6. Official recognition by the provisional parliament of the former "Ukraine" that its entire territory is the territory of the Russian Federation. Adoption of the act on the reunification of the territories of the former "Ukraine" with Russia.
7. Self-dissolution of the provisional parliament. UN recognition of the act of reunification.
Such may be Russia's soft formula for peace. That's a compromise position, isn't it? I think it is on this basis that we can seek a benevolent consensus with the international community, including the Anglo-Saxon world, and hold productive summits, counting on mutual understanding between our close friends, our Western partners.
‘ it is already underway’. statement… yes, i believe russia has recognized this is a war with nato right from the start.. nato says otherwise, but they are not very good liars or fakers..

Thank you Karlof1 for your persistent transcription work.
Without you, we wouldn't even know these very important words had been said.
We are here (in the West) held in silence and darkness.
And drowned in biased comments without access to the source of the information and the facts.
Your work is therefore as essential as it is unique.
Many thanks
karl. thank you..
