🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡ Russia does not accept the language of ultimatums, and will not tolerate one from Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister said at a press conference after the talks with his Kazakh counterpart Mukhtar Tleuberdi Friday.

"We do not tolerate any ultimatums," Lavrov said, answering a question about Russia’s reaction to claims made by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky that further Russian-Ukrainian talks will depend on the status of Ukrainian forces at Azovstal.

Zelensky does not understand what he is talking about when he ties Russian-Ukrainian talks to the status of Ukrainian forces at Mariupol, Lavrov said.

"I cannot qualify the remarks of President Zelensky. I am not sure he understands what he is talking about," Lavrov said, answering a question.
