Russia's Lavrov: Either Ukraine fulfils Moscow's proposals or our army will decide

Moscow's proposals for settlement in Ukraine are well known to Kyiv and either Ukraine fulfils them for their own good or the Russian army will decide the issue, TASS agency quoted Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying.

"Our proposals for the demilitarization and denazification of the territories controlled by the regime, the elimination of threats to Russia's security emanating from there, including our new lands, are well known to the enemy," the state news agency quoted Lavrov as saying late on Monday.

Moscow has been calling its invasion in Ukraine a "special military operation" to "demilitarise" and "denazify" its neighbour. Kyiv and its Western allies call it an imperial-style aggression to grab land, Reuters reports.

In September, Moscow proclaimed it had annexed four provinces of Ukraine - Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson - after holding so-called referendums that were rejected as bogus and illegal by Kyiv and its allies.

ENERGY CRISIS // Chisinau maintains stability in the face of external pressure, while Tiraspol awaits gas deliveries, experts

The artificial crisis on the left bank of the Nistru is part of a broader strategy by the Russian Federation to destabilize the Republic of Moldova, ahead of this year’s parliamentary elections. Despite these challenges, experts say that the constitutional authorities in Chisinau continue to respect their contractual obligations towards the Russian concern and maintain stability in the region, while Tiraspol would wait for Russian gas deliveries to be resumed.
