It is not us that has broken all contacts with the US, and we will not run after anyone—offering a meeting. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said this to reporters, commenting on the possibility of his meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken within the framework of the G20 ministerial session, RIA Novosti reported.

"If it [i.e., the West] does not want negotiations but Ukraine's victory against Russia on the battlefield, then, probably, there is simply nothing to talk about with the West because with its approaches, it is, in fact, not enabling Ukraine to go through the peace process," Lavrov added.
