Moscow has not asked its CSTO partners for assistance in connection with the operation in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

"We have not made such a request to anyone. We proceed from the fact that we have everything we need to solve the tasks of the special military operation, to end the war that the West started through the Ukrainian regime even after the coup d'etat," Lavrov said in an interview with the Russia 24 TV channel and RIA Novosti.
