'Why should we invite them?': Lavrov ridicules European presence at Ukraine peace talks
Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, has dismissed the prospect of a place for Europe at talks between the US and Russia to end the fighting in Ukraine. Speaking at a press conference alongside his Serbian counterpart, Lavrov said: 'If they are going to weasel out some cunning ideas about freezing the conflict, while actually intending, as is their custom, nature, and habit, to continue the war, then why should we invite them at all?' European leaders have been unnerved by the willingness of Donald Trump, the US president, to engage the Kremlin directly over Ukraine and have been attempting to find a place for themselves in the talks Europe live: European leaders meet in Paris to discuss Ukraine’s future
