According to the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Western countries are avoiding a substantive conversation based on the requirements of the UN Charter

UNITED NATIONS, September 20. /TASS/. The West evades a substantive conversation based on the UN Charter requirements, as it has no arguments for an honest dialogue on Ukraine-related issues, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.

"A substantive conversation based on facts and respect for all the requirements of the UN Charger is being dodged by the West. It appears to have no arguments for an honest dialogue," the Russian minister said.

Lavrov pointed out that in the current statements of Western opponents, Moscow "can hear only slogans, such as invasion, aggression and annexation."
