In recent weeks, Russia has focused its drive on Donbas after pulling back from a failed advance on Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions.
"Yes, people are being killed," Lavrov said. "But the operation is taking so much time primarily because Russian soldiers taking part are under strict orders categorically to avoid attacks and strikes on civilian infrastructure."

Lavrov also denied speculation that President Vladimir Putin was ill, saying there were no signs pointing to any ailment.
Putin's health and private life are taboo subjects in Russia, and are almost never discussed in public.
Answering a question, Russia's top diplomat said: "I don't think that sane people can see in this person signs of some kind of illness or ailment."
Lavrov said that Putin, who will turn 70 in October, appeared in public "every day."
"You can watch him on screens, read and listen to his speeches," Lavrov said in comments released by the Russian foreign ministry.
"I leave it to the conscience of those who spread such rumours."

You may honestly believe you are fighting for the Ukrainian people, but what you are really doing is leading more Ukrainians to their slaughter. In addition, you are taking the side of criminal Biden by supporting his efforts to fight a needless proxy war with Russia. Russia is not the USSR and does not have either the military might or the naked evil that the USSR actually did possess.
Furthermore, if you honestly looked at who has been causing the most chaos in the world, you will see that it has been mostly the U.S. Believe me, it pains me to finally see that reality, and I want it to end, and return this nation to its founding principles, and once again become that beckon on the hill for freedom & liberty.
If Putin were the real monster you believe him to be, he would have gone into Ukraine like we went into Iraq. He would have gained military superiority in the air right off the bat, he wold have taken out all communications like we did, he would have ruined infrastructure that has dual use like we did, and then waltzed in with boots on the ground with little to no resistance, just like we did.
But we weren't satisfied with just that, so we opened a second front in Afghanistan.
Sill not satisfied we then created chaos in Egypt and fomented a regime change there installing a member of the Muslim Brotherhood as their president. Fortunately, Egypt prevailed and threw that person out and elected a new president. We turned next to create chaos in Libya and fomented a regime change there. Lastly, we then set our sights upon Syria and in the process more than less, destroyed Syria, or should I say tried like the devil to do so, by arming ISIS in an attempt to topple Assad. That failed only because we elected Trump. Keep in mind these are the same people who orchestrated an election theft here in America. At his point you are only showing us that you are a stooge for the GOPe who also participated in that election theft.
The result of all those actions caused mass migration of people fleeing the carnage. Where did they run to? Europe mostly, turning those nations into countries that we no longer recognize, just like it is now impossible to recognize our own country. This is not the country I was born into and love.
Did you believe what happened in the Middle East was really the result of an Arab Spring?
Now, why would America, the beacon of hope for the world be a party to all of this chaos caused in the world? Could it be because the real goal is to destroy America, Europe, and all of the other western nations to enable the ushering in of a New World Order/One World Government? A government that will be controlled by the elites who look down upon us with disdain and truly believe themselves to be human gods who rightly deserve to rule and exterminate the excess humanity whom in their eyes are nothing more useless flesh consuming limited resources that we do not deserve in the first place. Is that what you want too?
How many trillions of dollars has that cost each of us taxpayers? More importantly what have we gotten for those trillions of dollars that have for the most part bankrupted this nation, along with all the other western nations? What happens if the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) nations decide to replace the dollar as the global trading currency? We will officially be bankrupt, and inflation will really take off like it did in Zimbabwe, that's what will happen?
Why are you so blind as to not see this reality? Do you think it is nothing but crazy conspiracy theory BS? If so, yo are not paying very close attention my FRiend.
The boogieman is not real, but the threat of this One World Government is as real as a heart attack, and it is way past time for people to start waking up and see what is really happening here instead of people blindly & emotionally reacting instead of thinking.
You find him good, only because he tells you what you want to hear. But there is no way of knowing how accurate, or honest, he actually is.
Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov is a Russian diplomat and politician who has served as the Foreign Minister of Russia since 2004. As a member of the United Russia party, he served as the Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations from 1994 to 2004.
Putin is a well known pedophile with a thing for little boys.
Are your tattoos of Hitler or of a swastika?
You're know nothing idiot if you don't realize that.
When this is over and Russia controls the entire Black Sea coastline, Donbass, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, I'm going to do the equivalent of rub your face between Stacy Abram's butt checks after she's taken a dump.
Kherson and Zaporizhzhia soon will be a part of the Russian Federation. As will Odessa and the entire Black Sea coastline.
Are you a Russian bot? I can’t believe anyone here would say the things you say.
Now that right there is funny, civilian infrastructure seems to be the only thing the Russian's can effectively hit.
Lavrov needs to be Beria’d.
“Putin will be riding Zelensky’s back soon.”
Funny how you and your Putin fanboi buddies obsess about homosexuals and then you let slip your sick homo fantasies about Putin riding (raping?) another man.
Disgusting.
I refuse to believe anything until it is denied by the KGB (sorry FSB)
Zaporozhye
DeLong is FR Class of 1999.

He dozed off in the boring opening ceremony 6 or 7 time zones east of his home. Yes, clearly he is at death’s door. LOL
