Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday that Moscow was willing to play a responsible part in nuclear arms control but it was impossible to discuss nuclear stability while ignoring Western involvement in the war in Ukraine.
"It is crystal clear that it is impossible to discuss strategic stability today while ignoring everything that is happening in Ukraine. Because the goal in Ukraine has been declared - not to save Ukrainian democracy, but to defeat Russia on the battlefield, or even destroy Russia," he said.
