  1. Funny how Russias biggest hardliners always sound invincible on state TV right up until the Kremlin suddenly decides theyre no longer useful.

    So the lipstick wearing horse face can’t do the job. Who would have guessed? He was supposed to be the good cop to Putin’s bad cop routine, but Lavrov wanted to always be the bad cop too. Now they can’t play together anymore.

  3. It looks like a good cop/bad cop thing where Lavrov is the bad cop and Ushakov is the good cop…

  4. He’s a propaganda-spouting old relic that nobody from the Ukrainian side should ever trust to conduct good faith negotiations. It’s amusing to read he’s been ignored and bypassed from a humiliation standpoint, however, the alternate channels through Yuri Ushakov, Kirill Dmitriev and Dmitry Peskov aren’t any better. Not only that, the article is referring to peace talks with the US as the intermediary and we all know how much they’ve been willing to bend over backwards for Moscow – So nothing will be achieved while Trump’s envoys are leading any peace talks.

  5. This is the last competent man Putin had on his team. Lavrov had a very high star in Norwegian diplomatic and international politics community before the war. Negotiated a lot of mutually beneficial deals that had been unsolved messes for 50-100 years previously.

    Unfortunately for him he chose to destroy his reputation and legacy. If he retired 10 years ago, he would receive much higher praises.

    Edit: another highly competent guy but more back role is Vladislav Surkov. The mastermind behind the international influence operations of the Kremlin.
