Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with CBS News that Moscow is ready for an agreement to resolve the situation in Ukraine, but some elements still need to be finalized.
"The US president believes, and I think it is fair. We are moving in the right direction. The president mentioned an agreement, and we are ready to achieve it. However, some points and elements need to be resolved. We are engaged in this process," Lavrov said.
He also denied accusations of attacks on civilian objects in Ukraine. "We target only military objects or civilian objects used for military purposes. If the Ukrainian armed forces used the targets, the Ministry of Defense and the local command have the right to strike," Lavrov concluded.
